Abstract

Previous market studies have shown that consumers are sensitive to differences in selected round white varieties, based on the performance of the varieties in everyday home use. This study compares survey responses from consumers who purchased one or more three round white varieties, Sunrise, CS7635-4 and Norwis, and tests for differences in consumer ratings of the potatoes. For each measure of satisfaction, the three varieties received similarly high ratings, indicating they are equally well-suited for tablestock marketing.
