Innovator is potato variety that is oblong in shape with a smooth skin. It is a popular potato variety in Europe and is gaining popularity in North America as a frying and baking potato. [1] The skin of the potato variety is russeted, similar to that of a Russet Burbank potato. Innovator also has shallow eyes with a cream coloured flesh. [2]
Innovator was bred in the Netherlands and registered in 2004. [3] It is the result of a cross between Shepody x RZ-84-2580. [4]
Due to the Innovator's dry matter content they are well suited for french fry making, [4] boiling or baking. [2]
Innovator is a medium to large plant with stems that are semi erect. The leaves of the plants are a yellow green and are moderately close to one another. When the plant flowers it produces many white flowers. The variety produces tubers that are large and oblong in shape with a tan coloured skin. The potato variety also produces large sprouts that are red-violet in colour. [3]
Innovator potatoes are resistant to potato wart and Globodera pallida (one of the two species of potato cyst nematode). [4] It is also resistant to late foliar leaf blight, Potato virus X and Potato virus Y. [4] The variety is slightly resistant to common scab and tuber late blight. [3]
