Galactica | | | | | | | | General Description | Excellent high yielding early parti-coloured variety. Galactica shows very good foliage and tuber blight resistance rendering it also suitable for organic production. It is very sensitive to Metribuzin (Sencor /Sencorex) and as a result this herbicide must not be used with Galactica. It gives, however, rapid ground cover upon germination assisting in natural weed control. |  | | Parentage | Torridon x Picasso | | | Maturity | Early maincrop | | | Tuber Characteristics | | | Shape | Oval to long oval | | | Skin colour | White with extensive red splash | | | Flesh colour | Light yellow | | | Depth of eyes | Shallow / medium | | | Dormancy | 4 | | | Dry matter content | 19% | | | Overall keeping quality | Good | | | Damage | 4 | | | Bruising | 6 | | | Yield | Very high | | | Resistance to Disease & Pests | | | Common scab | 8 | | | Powdery scab | 5 | | | Foliage blight | 7 | | | Tuber blight | 7 | | | Blackleg | 5 | | | Wart disease | S | | | PCN Ro1 | R | | | PCN Pallida | S | |
