Abstract

Alasclear was released from the breeding program at Palmer to provide Alaskan potato growers with a variety as resistant to potato scab as Ontario and of much better quality than that variety. Alasclear has a clear skin and is very acceptable at harvest for chip manufacture. Ninety days from planting it accumulated high dry matter as indicated by 1.089 specific gravity. It continues to increase to 1.102 specific gravity over a period of 120 days.

Resumen

A los 90 días de la siembra ha acumulado alta materia seca, como lo indica su gravedad específica de 1.089. Continua aumentado su gravedad específica hasta 1,102 en un periodo de 120 días.
