Begonia

High and stable yield 40 days after emergence.

Variety characteristic:

Begonia forms uniform, very large tubers, setting about 12 tubers at an average depth in the ridge. This variety is characterized by the lack of darkening of the flesh after cooking and resistance to the formation of internal and external defects of the tubers. It is recommended for early harvest. Iis an early maturing variety and can be harvested early due to early tuber bulking. It is ideal for planting under covers due to the small size of the canopy. It is not sensitive to variable watering conditions, it yields steadily in both dry and wet years, although prolonged excess water can cause excessive growth of the tubers.
