Jiming Jiang3, Horia Groza4 and Jiwan Palta3 UW Potato Breeding Program, Department of Horticulture Development of Varieties with Enhanced Resistance to Common Scab Preliminary Results (2000-2005) Félix Navarro1, Bryan Bowen2 Jiming Jiang3, Horia Groza4 and Jiwan Palta3 UW Potato Breeding Program, Department of Horticulture INTRODUCTION Common Scab of Potato, a disease caused by the bacterium Streptomyces scabies continues to be a serious problem for growers in the north central and other potato producing regions of the United States. This disease adversely affects the marketable yield of potato crops, either through occasional reduction of gross yield, or more importantly, reducing the skin quality. The incidence and severity of scab varies with location and season. Cropping history, soil moisture, and soil texture are largely responsible for this variability (Haynes et al. 1997). Lowering the soil pH under 5.2 has been proposed to reduce scab problem, but this practice will greatly reduce the choices of crops that can be used in rotation with potatoes. Furthermore, other species, Streptomyces acidiscabies produces scab diseases at pH lower than 5.2 (Bonde and McIntyre, 1986; Lambert and Loria, 1989). Another strategy to control common scab is maintaining the soil near field capacity during the 2-6 weeks following tuber initiation. However, in sandy soils like in the Central Sands of Wisconsin, this is difficult and may increase other disease problems (Pérombelon, 2002). Crop rotation does not provide an effective control to this disease because the bacterium S. scabies can survive for years in the absence of potatoes (Vrugging, 1976). Moreover, crop rotation makes consolidation of production fields difficult. Chemical control also has not provided reliable management tool. Resistant varieties are the best option to manage common scab when available. Only a limited number of cultivars such as Russet Nugget and Russet Burbank of russet type and the chipping cultivars Superior and Pike have shown acceptable resistance to this disease (Rieman, 1962; Holm et al., 1992; Loria et al. 1997; Jansky and Rouse, 2003). However, the standard chipping cultivars such as Atlantic as well as most recently released varieties (e.g. Snowden) are susceptible. Resistance to common scab has been detected in wild species. Results from scab evaluations by the Potato Germplasm Introduction Station indicate that out of 95 accessions that showed resistance to common scab, 48 corresponded to S. phureja subsp. phureja, 25 to S. tuberosum subsp. andigena, and 13 to S. chacoense subsp. chacoense. Breeding programs have included these species in the background of numerous breeding lines and some resistant varieties, e.g. Russet Nugget have resulted. Experimental strategies are needed to overcome the challenges posed by environment by location and year interactions in the evaluation of scab 1 Assistant Scientist- 4181 Camp Bryan Afon, Rhinelander, WI 54501.

E-mail: [email protected]. resistance in breeding programs (Haynes et al. 1997; Bramwell et al. 1998; Bouchek- Mechiche et al., 2000; Jansky and Rouse, 2003). Starting in 2006 we have began anew effort in breeding for scab resistance. The objective of our study is to estimate the level of resistance in Wisconsin potato breeding lines and to use this information as a selection criterion to develop elite lines with future variety potential. We report here scab evaluation results from 2002 and 2005 seasons of investigation. In these two years it was possible to separate resistant and susceptible lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS The experiments were carried out during years 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2005 in a field with high scab potential at the UW-Rhinelander Agricultural Research Station. A randomized complete block design including 3 replications was used; plot size consisted of 8 hills 2000-2004, 4hills in 2005. Each year, 45 to 92 different lines as well as resistant and susceptible checks were evaluated. This included russets, reds and chipping lines. Line performance was evaluated by the incidence (% of tubers affected) and severity (% of lesion coverage) of scab. A combined, equally weighted scab index was developed from the incidence and severity values, where 1=no scab and 9 = worst scab (60-100 of tubers in a plot covered with pitted scab. Statistical Analyses The statistical model to study the variability among the lines was Yijk = µ + ri + varj(typek) + eijk. Scab index data were normalized using Box-Cox transformations. Best linear unbiased predictors (BLUP) for the line performance and their corresponding variances were estimated using REML in SAS. Data were transformed back to 1-9 scab index for reporting. RESULTS In years 2000 and 2002, scab pressure did not allow separation of resistant and susceptible lines and cultivars. In years 2003 and 2005 significant differences for scab performance separated resistant lines and cultivars from the susceptible ones. The best scab resistance in the russet types was observed for Freedom Russet (W1836-3), W1879-1rus, W3132-1rus and W5785-5rus with equal or better scab resistance than Russet Burbank. MegaChip (W1201) was one of the chipping varieties with outstanding scab resistance. Our results for MegaChip agree with results from the 2004 New Brunswick Chip variety trial, 2005 Michigan and Idaho (US Potato Board 2005-Snack) and 2005 National Scab Trial. Enhanced resistance to scab, in addition to high specific gravity and chip quality are important attributes of MegaChip. Of the red varieties tested, W2275-7, a sister line to Villeta Rose (W2275-3R) was the only one with better performance than Dark Red Norland in 2003. PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE To be more efficient we need to develop a bigger number of lines that have scab resistance and good performance for yield and quality. Our plan to achieve that goal include the use of additional locations with high scab potential and the evaluation of a bigger number of progenies at earlier stages in the breeding scheme. Implementation of these should increase our chances of detecting more scab resistant lines that may be considered for release through SpudPro in the future. Table 1.

  • Potato Glossary
    A Potato Glossary A Potato Glossary by Richard E. Tucker Last revised 15 Sep 2016 Copyright © 2016 by Richard E. Tucker Introduction This glossary has been prepared as a companion to A Potato Chronology. In that work, a self-imposed requirement to limit each entry to a single line forced the use of technical phrases, scientific words, jargon and terminology that may be unfamiliar to many, even to those in the potato business. It is hoped that this glossary will aid those using that chronology, and it is hoped that it may become a useful reference for anyone interested in learning more about potatoes, farming and gardening. There was a time, a century or more ago, when nearly everyone was familiar with farming life, the raising of potatoes in particular and the lingo of farming in general. They were farmers themselves, they had relatives who farmed, they knew someone who was a farmer, or they worked on a nearby farm during their youth. Then, nearly everyone grew potatoes in their gardens and sold the extra. But that was a long ago time. Now the general population is now separated from the farm by several generations. Only about 2 % of the US population lives on a farm and only a tiny few more even know anyone who lives on a farm. Words and phrases used by farmers in general and potato growers in particular are now unfamiliar to most Americans. Additionally, farming has become an increasingly complex and technical endeavor. Research on the cutting edge of science is leading to new production techniques, new handling practices, new varieties, new understanding of plant physiology, soil and pest ecology, and other advances too numerous to mention.

  • Potatoes in the Garden Dan Drost Vegetable Specialist Summary Potatoes Prefer a Sunny Location, Long Growing Season, and Fertile, Well-Drained Soil for Best Yields
    Revised April 2020 Potatoes in the Garden Dan Drost Vegetable Specialist Summary Potatoes prefer a sunny location, long growing season, and fertile, well-drained soil for best yields. Plant potato seed pieces directly in the garden 14-21 days before the last frost date. For earlier maturity, plant potatoes through a black plastic mulch. Side dress with additional nitrogen fertilizer to help grow a large plant. Irrigation should be deep and frequent. Organic mulches help conserve water, reduce weeding, and keep the soil cool during tuber growth. Control insect and diseases throughout the year. Harvest potatoes as soon as tubers begin forming (new potatoes) or as they mature. Dig storage potatoes after the vines have died, cure them for 2-3 weeks, and then store the tubers in the dark at 40-45ºF. Recommended Varieties Potatoes are categorized by maturity class (early, mid-season or late), use (baking, frying, boiling), or tuber skin characteristics (russet, smooth, or colored). When selecting varieties, consider your growing environment, primary use, and how much space you have available to grow the plants. Most varieties grow well in Utah but all are not available. Most garden centers and nurseries carry varieties that produce high quality, productive seed tubers adapted to local conditions. Skin Type Suggested Varieties Russet Butte, Gem Russet, Ranger Russet, Russet Burbank Smooth Chipeta, Katahdin, Kennebec, Yukon Gold All Blue, Caribe (blue), Cranberry Red, Red Norland, Red Pontiac, Rose Finn, Colored Viking, How to Grow Soil: Potatoes prefer organic, rich, well-drained, sandy soil for best growth. Most soils in Utah will grow potatoes provided they are well drained and fertile.

  • A Foodservice Guide to Fresh Potato Types POTATOES
    THE PERFECT POTATO A Foodservice Guide to Fresh Potato Types POTATOES. THE PERFECT CANVAS FOR MENU INNOVATION. Potatoes aren’t just popular: they’re the #1 side dish in foodservice. You know that baked, mashed, roasted or fried, they have the remarkable ability to sell whatever you serve with them, enhancing presentations and adding value and appetite appeal. Now that you can tap into the intriguing shapes, colors and flavors of today’s exciting new potato types, innovation is easier than ever. No wonder so many chefs, from casual to fine dining, are reinventing potatoes in fresh new ways. So go ahead, grab a handful of potatoes and start thinking big. 1 A SPUD FOR ALL SEASONS AND REASONS. There are more than 4,000 potato varieties worldwide—though only a small fraction is commercialized. In the U.S., about 100 varieties are sold throughout the year to consistently meet the needs of the market. All of these varieties fit into one of five potato type categories: russet, red, white, yellow and specialty (including blue/purple, fingerling and petite). GET CREATIVE! We’ve created these at-a-glance potato type charts to help you find the right potato for any culinary purpose. Use them as a source of inspiration. Even when a potato type is recommended for a given application, another type may also work well to create a similar effect—or even a completely different, yet equally appealing result. Experiment with the types you have access to in new ways you haven’t tried. That’s the key to true menu innovation.
