North Dakota Fresh Market Potato Cultivar/Selection Trial Results for 2015
Potato growers continually are looking for the next potato cultivar that provides high yield and
good quality, and can be produced sustainably. Potato breeders continue to develop new potato cultivars with many desirable genetic traits. These traits may include increased yield potential, resistance to diseases, better tuber size profile, improved skin color, drought tolerance and enhanced nutrient-use efficiency. The NDSU Potato Extension Agronomy program has produced this data for red- and yellow-skinned potato cultivars/selections to assist potato growers in selecting new cultivars to produce on their farms.
