Summary

Sable is an early sizing potato variety of midseason maturity. It is comparable with the variety Warba in yield of marketable tubers 80 to 90 days after planting. It has white, smooth, bright, attractive tubers with shallow eyes, and is moderately resistant to common scab. It is not recommended as a main crop variety. It is low in dry matter; however, it cooks satisfactorily as an early variety.
