Abstract
Kanona is a golden nematode resistant variety with chipping characteristics similar to those of Monona. The color of chips from tubers stored at 7.2°C or 10°C and chipped the day after being removed from storage has been equal to or better than Monona in the majority of trials. The specific gravity is .005 higher than Monona. The maturity is similar to Monona’s, but the vigor of the vines is greater. The yield is similar to that of Monona.
