OAR@ICRISATAlpine Russet: A Potato Cultivar Having Long Tuber Dormancy Making it Suitable for Processing from Long-term StorageJ HWhitworthauthorR GNovyauthorJ CStarkauthorJ JPavekauthorD ICorsiniauthorS LLoveauthorNOlsenauthorSanjay KGuptaauthorTBrandtauthorM IValesauthor.et alauthorAlpine Russet is a later maturing, oblong-long, lightly russeted potato cultivar, notable for having tuber dormancy comparable to Russet Burbank. Processing quality of Alpine Russet from long-term storage is superior to Russet Burbank, with low percent reducing sugars and uniform fry color due to a low percentage difference of sugars between the bud and stem ends. Alpine Russet yields were comparable to Russet Burbank in early harvest trials and were comparable or significantly larger in late harvest trials depending on the location. At two late season locations, Alpine Russet had the largest total and percent No. 1 yields and the largest percent mid-range No. 1 tubers compared to Ranger Russet and Russet Burbank. It has moderately high specific gravity and is resistant to most external and internal defects. Alpine Russet has been evaluated in public and industry trials throughout the Western U.S. for over 15 years.Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics2011SpringerArticle
