  • Published:
American Potato Journal Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Field trials have shown that Shoshoni is adapted to southeastern Idaho; it has consistently produced high yields, with dehydrating quality comparable to that of Russet Burbank. Shoshoni is late-maturing and the tubers are round to oblong, slightly flattened, and moderately netted. Shoshoni possesses moderate resistance to common scab and Verticillium wilt.
