Adretta
Adretta is a table and processing potato with strikingly round tubers.
It is a floury potato with an early to medium-early ripening period. It is a product of potato breeding in the GDR from 1975. Its rapid youth development and its abundant herbaceous development are striking. In addition to being used as mashed potatoes, it is also suitable for making French fries and chips.
In some years Adretta stood on half of the potato-growing area of the former GDR, around 550,000 hectares . Since the control of late blight and tuber blight improved significantly after the fall of the Wall , the current cultivation area of potatoes in Germany as a whole is significantly lower. Adretta was developed by the Institute for Plant Breeding in Groß Lüsewitz near Rostock. After the privatization, the breeder Norika GmbH was established at the same location.
Adretta is less susceptible to foot diseases and black- leggedness . She has resistance to the leaf roll virus as well as the A virus and Y virus .
The 30-year-old plant variety protection expired in 2005, so it can be reproduced without a license.
Adretta was voted Potato of the Year in 2009.
