Abstract
Lamoka is a white-skinned, white-fleshed potato variety notable for excellent chip color from cold storage, good yield and specific gravity, and resistance to both common scab and race Ro1 of the golden cyst nematode (Globodera rostochiensis). It was selected from a cross made at Cornell University in 1998 between NY120 and NY115. The tubers are round-oblong and slightly flattened, with shallow eyes and relatively smooth skin. Chip color out of cold storage is better than ‘Snowden’. Marketable yield averaged 90% of Snowden across 95 trials in New York, Pennsylvania and Maine, while specific gravity averaged 0.003 less than Snowden. Lamoka was released by the New York Agricultural Experiment Station in 2011.
Resumen
Lamoka es una variedad de papa de piel y pulpa blancas, notable por su excelente color de freído después de almacenamiento en frío, de buen rendimiento y gravedad específica, y con resistencia a la roña común y a la raza Ro1 del nematodo dorado de quiste (Globodera rostochiensis). Se seleccionó de una cruza hecha en la Universidad de Cornell en 1998 entre NY120 y NY115. Los tubérculos son de redondos a oblongos, y ligeramente aplanados, con ojos superficiales, y piel relativamente suave. El color de la hojuela después del almacenamiento en frío es mejor que el de “Snowden”. El rendimiento comercial tuvo un promedio del 90% del de Snowden a lo largo de 95 ensayos en Nueva York, Pennsylvania y Maine, mientras que la gravedad específica promedió 0.003 menos que Snowden. Lamoka se liberó por la Estación Agrícola Experimental de Nueva York en el 2011.
