Alpine Russet: A Potato Cultivar Having Long Tuber Dormancy Making it Suitable for Processing from Long-term Storage
Abstract Alpine Russet is a later maturing, oblong-long, lightly russeted potato cultivar, notable for having tuber dormancy comparable to Russet Burbank. Processing quality of Alpine Russet from long-term storage is superior to Russet Burbank, with low percent reducing sugars and uniform fry color due to a low percentage difference of sugars between the bud and stem ends. Alpine Russet yields were comparable to Russet Burbank in early harvest trials and were comparable or significantly larger in late harvest trials depending on the location. At two late season locations, Alpine Russet had the largest total and percent No. 1 yields and the largest percent mid-range No. 1 tubers compared to Ranger Russet and Russet Burbank. It has moderately high specific gravity and is resistant to most external and internal defects. Alpine Russet has been evaluated in public and industry trials throughout the Western U.S. for over 15 years.
Resumen Alpine Russet es una variedad de papa de madures tardĂa, larga-oblonga, ligeramente como Russet, notable por tener una dormancia del tubĂ©rculo comparable a Russet Burbank. La calidad de procesamiento de Alpine Russet despuĂ©s de un almacenamiento prolongado es superior a Russet Burbank, con bajo porcentaje de azĂșcares reductores y color uniforme de freĂdo debido a la baja diferencia en porcentaje de azĂșcares entre la yema apical y la base. Los rendimientos de Alpine Russet fueron comparables a Russet Burbank en ensayos de cosecha temprana y fueron comparables o significativamente mayores en ensayos de cosecha tardĂa, dependiendo del lugar. En dos lugares de ciclo tardĂo, Alpine Russet tuvo los mayores rendimientos totales y en porcentaje de No. 1, y el mayor porcentaje de tubĂ©rculos de amplitud media No. 1 comparada con Ranger Russet y Russet Burbank. Tiene moderadamente alta gravedad especĂfica y es resistente a la mayorĂa de los defectos externos e internos. Alpine Russet ha sido evaluada en ensayos pĂșblicos y de la industria a lo largo del oeste de los E.U. por mĂĄs de 15 años
