Tsezar

Dutch reliability in every field

When you work with «Cesar» from Hzpc Holland, you immediately notice the difference in selection standards. This is a potato variety that is forgiving of minor agricultural mistakes, behaving predictably from planting to harvest. For a grower looking for a balanced variety that resists drought and humidity fluctuations, this is a top-tier choice.

Field performance and immunity

The main advantage is its comprehensive disease resistance. Years of experience confirm that the claimed resistance to golden potato cyst nematode and potato wart is consistent in practice. Late blight, which often decimates table varieties, is minimal here. This reduces the need for frequent fungicide spraying, saving both the budget and equipment operating hours. The skin is consistently smooth, free from common scab, which ensures a high-quality visual presentation for the market.

Cultivation and storage

As a mid-to-late variety (100–110 days), «Cesar» allows for efficient scheduling of harvesting equipment. The tuber shape is perfect for mechanical processing: oval, uniform, with shallow eyes. With an average weight of 100–150 grams, you get an excellent marketable yield with very few undersized tubers. The starch content of 15–17% makes it a culinary staple—it doesn't fall apart during cooking and retains its texture. Most importantly for a grower, this variety stores exceptionally well. It stays dormant longer and maintains its commercial quality throughout the winter, provided the storage temperature is managed correctly.
