Origin & Breeding History: 'Ipador' originated from a cross between 'Goldrush' and 'Nicoter' made in April 2002 in Rillaar, Belgium. 'Ipador' was selected after the harvest of 2008 and was further propagated and tested. Asexual reproduction of 'Ipador' was performed by grafting onto rootstocks in the winter of 2008 to 2009. It was selected for its storability, scab resistance, and flavour.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of ‘Ipador' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 20183058, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trials were conducted by the Bundessortenamt in Hannover, Germany from 2021 to 2022.
