It is valued for fresh market and peeling, has excellent washability, strong resistance to common scab, wart disease, and PCN, but is somewhat susceptible to foliage and tuber blight.

Austin is an early variety with excellent, off-field processing characteristics, round-oval tubers with shallow eyes ideally suited for crisping. The low reducing sugar content also makes the variety suitable for longer-term storage.

Potato Memphis is a new promising crop variety. It is characterized by good yield and drought resistance, which greatly simplifies care.

The Belana potato is a high-quality, early to medium-maturing table potato variety, known for its smooth, light yellow skin, pale yellow flesh, and firm, waxy texture.
