Summary

A study was made to determine the dry-matter content of 10 commercial varieties of Irish potatoes at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1944 and 1945.

Analysis of the data demonstrated that a significant interaction of varieties x years existed, indicating that some varieties behave in a differential manner with regard to the influence of environmental conditions on the percentage of dry matter.

Green Mountain, under the humid conditions where the tests were made, was of the highest dry-matter content as an average for the two years.
