Abstract
Coastal Russet (tested as B9596-2) is a clone with mid-season maturity that produces russet skin tubers that are long and slightly flattened. Tuber yields in the eastern portions of the United States have been considerably greater than for BelRus. Tubers are well-shaped, have shallow eyes, and are attractive in appearance. Tuber appearance and size make this cultivar very well suited for the tablestock market. It is not suitable for processing. Coastal Russet is highly resistant to tuber net necrosis caused by late current season infection with leafroll and is tolerant to common scab.
Compendio
Coastal Russet (evaluado como B9596-2) es un clon que madura a media estación, que produce tubérculos de piel rojiza, alargados y ligeramente aplanados. Los rendimientos en tubérculos en el este de los Estados Unidos han sido considerablemente más altos que para BelRus. Los tubérculos son bien formados, tienen ojos superficiales, y su apariencia es atractiva. La apariencia y su tamaño hacen que este cultivar se adapte bien al mercado de consumo directo No se adapta al procesado. Coastal Russet es muy resistente a la necrosis en red del tubérculo, provocada por las infecciones tardías con el virus del enrollamiento de la hoja, y es tolerante a la sarna común.
