patata tardiva
Explanation:
I vocabolari danno per "maincrop" "coltivazione principale", ma in questo caso non mi pare idoneo
Mi sembra corrispondere, invece, la definizione di "tardiva", tanto più che nel tuo testo si dice di "allow to grow till autumn"

There are three main types of potato to grow, named according to when you plant and harvest them: first earlies, second earlies and maincrop. 
First early or 'new' potatoes are so-called because they are the earliest to crop, in June.
Second earlies (also called 'new' potatoes) are hot on their heels, taking a few more weeks to mature.
...
Maincrop potatoes take the longest to mature and are harvested from the end of July to September. ...

La patata precoce - ha una vita breve, di circa 65 giorni / 2 mesi
la semi-precoce - dai 70 agli 80 giorni / 2 mesi e mezzo
la tardiva - oltre i 90 giorni / 3 mesi

Asker: Grazie mille anche a te Francesco. Ho dato i punti all'altra collega solo perché sembrerebbe aver risposto prima ( fra noi e la Germania ci sono 8 o 9 minuti di fuso orario, no?)
