Early export Acoustic was successful

Today’s world asks for robust and sustainable potato varieties. Therefore, Meijer Potato introduces a new robust generation of varieties. In particular, the demand is rising for the promising table variety Acoustic: 

• It is adaptive to climate & soil, producing a high marketable yield.
• Being late blight resistant, it’s suitable for both conventional and organic cultivation. Needing less pesticides and nitrogen, this variety can be grown with respect for nature. 

Acoustic produces round oval and light-yellow skinned tubers, uniform in size with a nice skin finish. It’s a firm cooking, storage type potato with medium maturity, that’s well-suited to boiling and baking.
