Accomplishments
Current accessions being tested show economic ranges, using current cultivation procedures, are from a loss of $400 per acre to a maximum of plus $1200 per acre. All tested accessions (12) plus two checks (Russet Norkotah and Ranger Russet) out yielded Russet Burbank. Eight accessions were released as named varieties this past year. These included five processing Russets, one chipper, one Red and one non-Russet white.
One Aberdeen produced clone and 22 clones out of Colorado exhibited high levels of Late Blight resistence. Testing was initiated for anti-oxident content this year. Initial data show ranges from 171.8 5g/gfw2 to 758.8 5g/gfw2 with Russet Burbank having 596.7 5g/gfw2. Measurement of Vitamin C content ranged from 167.9 to 741.45g/gfw3 with Russet Burbank at 583.
WCC-027 committee members published 12 refereed journal articles related to Multi-state activities.
This project is a classical example of what can be done by cooperating states that could not be done by any one state individually. This cooperative effort includes scientists from the states, the federal government, and producers from the private sector. Attendance is very high and constant regardless of the location. Thirty three attended this years meeting, 7 federal, 20 state and 5 private industry.
Impacts
- The impact of this project on Northwest potato production through the release of new varieties that provided advantages of disease resistance, productivity, production efficiency, and tuber quality was to add $135 million to the value of the potato industry each year.
