    I`m looking to grow a blight resistant potato with the following qualities:
    Tasty
    High Yield
    Good blight resistance
    Something close to a Rooster

    Anyone any ideas?

    I've grown Sarpo Mia a couple of times. Monster tubers. Very happy with the results.

    With Setanta and Sarpo Mario would I need to spray at all?

    Can't speak for Setanta, but I've grown Sarpo Mira and you see a bit of leaf browning when blight is present, but that's it.

    Also same for me. Sarpo tubers as yet haven't been effected for me, just some issues with leaves
