American Journal of Potato Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Vanguard Russet (TX08352-5Ru) is a medium-early maturing potato cultivar released by Texas A&M AgriLife Research in 2018. Vanguard Russet produces attractive oblong to long tubers with medium russet skin and white flesh, blocky shape and uniform size, ideally suited for the fresh market. Vanguard Russet produces. It produces a high yield of marketable tubers, with many tubers in the 170 to 510 g size category, some oversized (> 510 g) tubers, and fewer culls than Russet Norkotah. Vanguard Russet has low external tuber defects (growth cracks, second growth), internal tuber defects (hollow heart, internal brown spot, vascular discoloration, blackspot bruise), and has a long tuber dormancy. Vanguard Russet is susceptible to PVY but has good symptom expression and is moderately resistant to common scab and Fusarium dry rot. Vanguard Russet is an excellent cultivar option for fresh market potato production due to its high marketable yields, excellent external and internal tuber quality, and long tuber dormancy.

Resumen

Vanguard Russet (TX08352-5Ru) es una variedad de papa de maduración media-temprana lanzada por Texas A&M AgriLife Research en 2018. Vanguard Russet produce atractivos tubérculos oblongos a largos con piel mediana tipo russet y pulpa blanca, forma de bloque y tamaño uniforme, ideales para el mercado fresco. Produce un alto rendimiento de tubérculos comercializables, con muchos tubérculos en la categoría de tamaño de 170 a 510 g, algunos tubérculos de gran tamaño (> 510 g) y menos desperdicio que Russet Norkotah. Vanguard Russet tiene defectos bajos externos de tubérculo (cuarteaduras, crecimiento secundario), defectos internos del tubérculo (corazón hueco, mancha café interna, pigmentación vascular, moretones de manchas negras) y tiene una latencia larga del tubérculo. Vanguard Russet es susceptible a PVY pero tiene buena expresión de síntomas y es moderadamente resistente a la costra común y a la pudrición seca de Fusarium. Vanguard Russet es una excelente opción de variedad para la producción de papa fresca en el mercado debido a sus altos rendimientos comercializables, excelente calidad de tubérculo externo e interno y latencia larga de tubérculos.
