1 Searching for Fresh Pack Alternatives Through Economic and Taste Evaluatio of Tri-State Varieties RR Spear, MJ Pavek, ZJ Holden

2 The Dominant Fresh Variety: Russet Norkotah Product of North Dakota State University Released in 1987 Dominant fresh pack variety

3 Why Has Russet Norkotah done Eye Appeal Uniform tuber shape Ideal tuber size profile so well? Yields are adequate seaso Bruise resistance relative to other varieties Economic Return Everybody in the chain makes money

4 Why Look For Alternatives? Norkotah is Susceptible to Potato Virus Y Seed certification is difficult Reduced yields Susceptible to Verticillium Wilt Early Die Flesh color and flavor poor after cold storage Newer varieties have shown promise

5 A superior variety will have Ideal fresh pack characteristics Eye appeal, ideal size, shape, yield and quality Better disease resistance Adequate yields, superior economic return Excellent culinary attributes Storability Looks/tastes good out of storage Bruise resistance

6 2 Trials Methods & Materials Early Harvest (14 days after planting) Late Harvest (15 days after planting Design RCBD Plots: 2 ft x 3 rows, 4 replicatio 6 control varieties 8 clones/new varieties

7 The Controls CO-3 CO-8 TX-278 TX-296 R. Norkotah R. Burbank

8 The Contenders A3158-2TE AO57-2 Classic R. AO A11-1 Teton R. PAN14-2

9 Methods & Materials (cont.) Data Stand, stem, tuber number vine senescence US graded yields (weight & grade of every potato) Tuber shape, size profile, internal/external quality, bruising Economic value Taste panel testing Out of the field After 6 months of storage at 44 F

20 Take Home Message Despite low yields and high susceptibility to PVY, R. Norkotah is still the number one fresh pack variety in the US New Varieties are showing Better yields More uniform size distribution Better resistance to PVY, diseases, and pests Increased profits for growers Greater coumer satisfaction

21 Variety Recommendatio A3158-2TE Classic R. Teton R. Early to Late Harvest High percentage of 7-18oz tubers Fresh Market Standout High Gross Return Good skin set Early to Late Harvest High percentage of US #1 s Low incidence of internal defects Susceptible to shatter Bruise Early to mid-harvest Similar yields when compared to R. Norkotah, but with slightly heavier tubers Susceptible to shatter bruise Allow time for good skin set
