Abstract
A comparative yield trial with 24 named varieties and numbered selections of potatoes was
conducted at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station’s
Palmer Research Center during the 1988 growing season. The trial was conducted at the
Matanuska Research Farm, located six miles west of Palmer on Trunk Road. Nonirrigated trials
have been conducted annually since 1982, and irrigated trials started in 1985. Results of previous
trials have been recorded in AFES Circulars 49, 54, 58 and 65. These circulars are available at the
Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station offices in Fairbanks and Palmer.Introduction -- Matanuska Farm Yield Trials: Cultural Practices - Environmental Conditions, Results and Discussion; Trials at Other Locations in Alaska: General Procedures; Specific Site Information: Ambler, Delta Junction, Kake, Kenai - Soldotna, Kodiak, Kotzebue, Palmer, Pt.
