Dakota Diamond Potato Cultivar Released By North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station

摘要

The North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station announces the release of Dakota Diamond, an exceptionally high-yielding potato cultivar suitable for chip processing and the fresh market. It also has resistance to common scab. Dakota Diamond was tested as ND5822C-7. It originated from the cross of ND4103-2, an advanced selection from the North Dakota State University potato breeding program with chipping ability and some resistance to the Colorado potato beetle, and Dakota Pearl, a commercially accepted cold chipping cultivar released by the NDSU potato breeding program in 1999. Dakota Diamond combines the attributes of several wild potato species, including Solanum andigena, S. demis-sum, S. phureja, and purportedly, S. cha-coense.
