Warba potatoes are medium to large, round to slightly oval tubers with smooth, light-brown skin and shallow eyes. The flesh is creamy-white, firm, and moderately starchy, making them suitable for boiling, roasting, and mashing. They have a robust growth habit with upright, green foliage and produce reliable yields under temperate growing conditions.
- Size: Tubers: Medium to large (approx. 60–150 g per tuber). Plant height: Medium (around 50–70 cm)
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile, and slightly acidic (pH 5.5–6.5)
- Planting depth: 10–15 cm, spaced 30–40 cm apart in rows 70–75 cm apart
- Watering: Consistent moisture, especially during tuber formation
- Fertilization: Balanced NPK fertilizer; avoid excess nitrogen to prevent leafy growth at the expense of tubers
- Disease management: Rotate crops to prevent blight and scab; inspect for pests regularly
- Harvest: Typically 90–110 days after planting when foliage begins to yellow and die back
