Abstract
Allegany is a golden nematode resistant variety with potential for both tablestock and chipping. It is late in vine maturity and when allowed to grow full season, has very high yield potential. In the Northeast, the specific gravity and chip color of tubers soon after harvest and after 10°C storage are comparable to Norchip. The tubers have exceptionally long dormancy Allegany is resistant to early blight, Verticillium wilt, and scab as well as the golden nematode.
