Tubers have good resistance to bruising and splitting. Trials have found good resistance to blackleg and dry rot (Fusarium sulphureum). This variety has low resistance to potato leafroll virus and late blight on tubers. Tests for resistance to potato cyst nematode demonstrated susceptibility to both Globodera rostochiensis Ro1 and Globodera pallida Pa 2/3, 1.
