Abstract
Reba has a bright clear skin, attractive shape and cooking qualities that make it suitable for tablestock. The chip color from 7° storage has been equal to that of Monona. The specific gravity of Reba is .013 less than Atlantic and .007 greater than Monona. In upstate New York and Pennsylvania trials, Reba has produced a marketable yield about 9% greater than Atlantic. On Long Island and New Jersey, Reba has yielded about 14% greater than Superior. Reba is resistant to race Ro1 of the golden nematode, as resistant to scab as Monona, and moderately resistant to Verticillium wilt.
Resumen
Reba tiene piel clara y brillante, forma atractiva y cualidades culinarias que la hacen apropiada para el uso directo. El color de sus hojuelas a 7° de aimacenamiento ha sido igual al de Manona. La gravedad específica de Reba es 0.13 menor que la de Atlantic y .007 mayor que la de Manona. Reba ha tenido un rendimiento comercial en la zona norte de Nueva York y Pennsylvania, aproximadamente 9% más que Atlantic. En Long Island y Nueva Jersey, Reba tuvo una producción 14 veces mayor que la Superior. Reba es resistente a la raza Ro1 del nematodo dorado, tan resistente a la sarna como Manona, y moderadamente resistente a la Marchitez porVerticillium.
