American Potato Journal Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Platte is a high yielding, medium to late maturing variety, with round white tubers of medium to high specific gravity. Good chips may be made from this variety before storage and from reconstituted potatoes after 38 to 40 F storage. It is resistant to common scab and Fusarium wilt and tolerant to Verticillium wilt.

Hi Plains is a medium to medium-late maturing variety producing moderately high yields of long, white tubers of intermediate specific gravity. Its tubers boil, bake, chip and french fry well. Hi Plains is moderately resistant to common scab and tolerant to Fusarium wilt but susceptible to Verticillium wilt.

Under conditions of high temperatures or stress for soil moisture, Platte produces small tubers in chains, and Hi Plains produces rough and irregularly shaped tubers. In trials in the North Central States, Hi Plains was comparable to Irish Cobbler in yield of U.S. ‡1 potatoes and dry matter content. Platte produced high yields of U.S. ‡1 potatoes of intermediate dry matter content. Platte was adapted to the northern fall-crop states, whereas Hi Plains was more widely adapted.

Sumario En Español

Platte es una variedad de papa de alto rendimiento, mediana o tardiá maduración, con tubérculo de forma redondeado, blanco y de mediano a alto peso específico. Con es ta variedad se hacen buenas papas a la inglesa antes de estar almacenadas y después de reconstituitarse en sequida de almacenaje a 38–40 F. Resistente a loStreptomyces scabies, marchitezFusarium sp. y tolerante aVerticillium albo-atrum.

Hi Plains es una variedad de papa de mediana o tardiá maduración con rendimiento moderamente alto de tubérculo grande, blanco de mediano peso especifico. Los tubérculos, se cuecen, hornean, don buenas papas a la inglesa y frien bien. Hi Plains es moderadamente resistente a la Streptomyces scabies, tolerante a marchitezFusarium sp. pero susceptible aVerticillium albo-atrum.

En condiciones de elevada temperatura o déficit de humedad en el suelo, Platte produce tubérculos pequeños en cadena y Hi Plains produce tubérculos rugosos e irregulares en forma. En experimentos relizados en los estados del centro norte. Hi Plains fué comparable a Irish Cobbler en producción de papas grado U.S. ‡1 y contenido de materia seca. Platte produjo alto rendimiento en papas grado U.S. ‡1 con contenido intermedio de materia seca. La variedead Platte se adaptó mejor, a los estados del norte con producción de otoño, en tanto que Hi Plains presentó una adaptación más amplia.
