Storage Management of A93157-6LS Potatoes

A93157-6LS (6LS) is a 2006 multipurpose, mid- to late-maturing potato variety that has very high resistance to cold sweetening in storage. Based on three years of storage research at the University of Idaho Kimberly Research and Extension Center, this four-page publication provides storage recommendations and discusses the potatoes' dormancy length, glucose/sucrose development, fry color and Fusarium dry rot susceptibility. As an added bonus, the study tracks the cultivar's percentage weight loss during three storage seasons and compares it with that of the Russet Burbank.
