Inca Bella is a potato variety originating from the Netherlands, known for its early maturity and distinctive red skin with yellow flesh. It produces small, uniform tubers with a firm texture and is particularly suited for salad use.
Inca Bella has a high resistance to bruising and damage, making it favorable for mechanical harvesting. However, it exhibits low to medium resistance to common scab and is susceptible to late blight. The variety is also noted for its low to medium resistance to potato cyst nematodes.
