Circular 84
A yield trial which compared 45 named varieties and numbered selections of potatoes
was conducted during the 1990 growing season at the University of Alaska Fairbanks,
Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station's Palmer Research Center, Matanuska Research
Farm, located six miles west of Palmer, Alaska.
Varieties with a history of commercial production in the Matanuska Valley (Alaska
