Medium late maturing. Asterix has a quick foliage development and a good groundcover. Grow Asterix under irrigation to optimise yield and tuber shape, a sufficient water supply during the last growing weeks is very important to get the best size and shape. Asterix has moderate-high and strong foliage, therefore vine killing will be needed.
Resistant to Golden Nematodes and immune to Wart disease. Moderate resistance to Common Scab. Although Asterix has reasonable resistance to late blight, regular preventive treatments are necessary
Nice taste, fairly firm culinary quality. Rather high specific gravity can be used in most potato preparations; excellent for homemade French fries.
