Meet Jacky

A beautiful variety, characterized by its small, good looking tubers, the very high yield and extreme tuber number per plant. The variety is perfectly suitable for the ware potato segment and the convenience market. Jacky has a strong late blight resistance in foliage and tuber and is therefore part of Agrico’s Next Generation portfolio. In the small size potato segment, Jacky is an important variety. The variety offers great added value in both cultivation and on the consumer’s plate.
