Sylvana

Silvana: The Resilient Choice for Professional Potato Growers

Dutch breeding powerhouse HZPC has long set the benchmark for agricultural performance, and the Silvana variety stands as a testament to their dedication to quality and resilience. For growers balancing market demands with field risks, Silvana offers a robust solution that doesn't sacrifice culinary excellence.

Why Silvana stands out in the field

The true strength of Silvana lies in its genetic armor. In agricultural environments where soil-borne pathogens and viral threats can compromise yields, this variety exhibits exceptional hardiness. Its built-in resistance to Golden Potato Cyst Nematode and Potato Wart makes it an invaluable asset for land that has seen heavy rotation or faces significant disease pressure.

• Market-Leading Aesthetics: With a vibrant yellow flesh and a smooth, appealing yellow skin, Silvana satisfies the aesthetic standards of premium retail markets. Crucially, the tubers maintain their quality during cooking, avoiding the common issue of post-boiling darkening.
• Stress Tolerance: Beyond its immunity to Potato Leafroll Virus, Silvana displays remarkable resistance to Common Scab. This ensures a higher percentage of packable produce, significantly reducing waste during the harvesting and sorting process.

Is Silvana the right fit for your operation?

Silvana is an ideal choice for growers focused on the fresh market who prioritize efficiency and consistency. It is forgiving of minor agronomic inconsistencies and excels in environments where disease pressure would cripple more sensitive varieties. By choosing HZPC Silvana, you are investing in a reliable, high-yield variety that minimizes the need for heavy chemical intervention, allowing for a more sustainable and profitable production cycle.
