Isa has a moderate to strong vigor and a semi-erect bearing. This variety must be trained and managed by short pruning.
Susceptibility to diseases and pests
Isa is slightly sensitive to powdery mildew.
Technological potentiality
The bunches are medium in size, supple and not very compact. The berries are medium to large in size with a fairly thin skin and a pleasantly flavored, slightly muscaté firm pulp. To obtain a good golden coloring of the berries and prevent browning, leaf removal should be moderate and not too intense. This variety has an average storage and transport capacity.
