Caruso is an early bulking maincrop variety for crisping - also after green top harvest. It's also well suited for the production of dehydrated products. Besides its low content of reducing sugars Caruso proves itself with a robust performance under hot conditions. In terms of diseases it is strong against late blight, tuber blight, common scab and internal rust spot. Resistances: PCN Ro 1, 4
