  • 2018 Potato Postharvest Processing Evaluation Report
    Postharvest Processing Evaluation of Alaska Grown Potatoes A Specialty Crop Block Grant Project Introduction Potatoes have long been a staple produce of Alaskan agriculture. Between the years 2009-2016 Alaska growers have produced between 130,000 to 155,000 cwt annually amounting to over 2 million dollars in sales each year (2017 Alaska Annual Bulletin). There has been increasing interest in the use of Alaska Grown potatoes for processing in the local chipping and restaurant market, but this effort hasn’t been supported with data on the processing quality of our locally produced potatoes. To better meet the needs of the food service industries and to promote a growing market for producers, the Alaska Plant Materials Center (PMC) undertook a postharvest evaluation on our collection of potato varieties grown on site in Palmer, Alaska. The results of this research present timely and relevant data to Alaskan growers, processors and consumers. On a national level, the processing industry accounts for nearly 60% of potatoes produced annually. This trend has caused potato breeders to select for processing qualities, and quite a few processing cultivars have been recently registered and released for use. Although some of these newer varieties are grown here in Alaska, they have not been evaluated and compared to the data collected by growers in other regions or compared to established varieties that are known to do well here. Even if the physical qualities of the varieties were comparable to those grown elsewhere, Alaska is unlikely to compete in the national processing market because of our distance from any commercial processing facility and the small “family farm” scale of operation.

  • Potatoes in the Home Garden
    for the Gardener Growing Potatoes in the Home Garden f you could cultivate a vegetable crop that could be grown in almost every climate (except hot tropical zones) from sea level to 15,000 feet, could be eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, prepared in a myriad of ways, be easily kept Iwithout processing or refrigeration for up to 6-8 months, produced high yields (2-5 pounds per square foot) and was extremely nutritious (high in protein, vitamin C, niacin, B vitamins, iron and energy) but low in calories (sans butter and sour cream), you would wouldn’t you? If you did you would be in the minority of home gardeners. Most gardeners eschew the illustrious “spud” (Solanum tuberosum), thinking it doesn’t warrant space in the small garden and that home grown potatoes don’t taste much better than their store-bought counterparts. Not true! Wrong on both counts. Solanum tuberosum (the Andean potato) originated in the highlands of the Andes mountain ranges of South America (Peru, Columbia, Ecuador, Bolivia) at elevations up to 15,000 feet. Potatoes have been in cultivation for more than 2000 years and there are more than 2,000-3,000 Beveridge Melisa varieties extant today. It is an herbaceous perennial in its native habitat, but treated as a tender annual in the temperate zones and damaged by frost at 28-30°F. The plant’s only edible portions are the tubers produced underground, apically (at the tip) on stolons (horizontal underground stems; see drawing at right). While potatoes produce viable seed, the genetic makeup of sexually- produced plants is so diverse and variable (heterozygous) that production from this seed is negligible.

Generate efficacy data on products/programs for control of potato psyllids. 2. Examine the effects of insecticides that target potato psyllid on chemical control strategies for other insect pests. 3. Determine if potato psyllid control foments outbreaks of other insect pests. 4. Determine the effect of potato psyllid control on natural enemies. Comparative biology of potato psyllid haplotypes and implications for Northwest potato growers Dave Horton, Joe Munyaneza, Rodney Cooper, Kylie Swisher (USDA-ARS) OBJECTIVES: 1. Examine overwintering biology of haplotypes. 2. Bittersweet nightshade as an alternate host. 3. Examine vector efficiency of haplotypes. 4. Develop means for visually separating haplotypes on yellow sticky cards. Population genetics of the potato psyllid in the inland Northwest Bill Snyder, Zhen "Daisy" Fu (WSU) OBJECTIVES: 1. Working with the WSU core genomics facility, sequence the entire genome of a representative of a population of northwest psyllids. 2. Use the RAD-tag approach to determine relatedness among psyllids collected from potato and nightshade, across collection points in WA, OR and ID. 3. Determine whether distinct genetic groups that we have identified differ in their likelihood of carrying the zebra chip pathogen, and whether these groups exist in different parts of the inland northwest.
