Potato variety named LC-1

Abstract

The new potato variety is classified as having no known parentage. It was discovered in a cultivated field of Butte variety potatoes near Ashton, Id. The new variety produces tubers that mature early and are suitable for fresh market use having high solids, low sugars, a fine mealy texture, good processing quality and good storability. The variety is resistant to metribuzin herbicide injury, leafroll net necrosis, veinal necrosis, jelly or sugar ends, second growths, growth cracking and black spot or shatter bruising. Its tubers are oblong to long, with shallow eyes, a smooth skin of moderate thickness, and exhibits moderate russeting. The tubers rarely express hollow heart, internal brown spot or other defects, and seldom develop storage rots. LC-1 is susceptible to most soilborne, foilage, and viral diseases, but is resistant to scab and seldom develops blackleg. The variety is well adapted to the sandy soils of the Western United States.
