The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) is seeking commercial partners interested in an improved line of dual-purpose potatoes, called "Millennium Russet.”
OVERVIEW
A dual-purpose potato superior to Russet Burbank would be valuable to the fresh potato and french fry markets.
THE INVENTION
UW-Madison researchers have now developed a line of dual-purpose potatoes, called "Millennium Russet," which results in a long russet potato. Under Wisconsin conditions, this new line represents a significant improvement over the Russet Burbank variety. The line yields long, russet-skinned and white-fleshed tubers with medium-late maturity.
APPLICATIONS
- Fresh potato and french fry markets
KEY BENEFITS
- Good french fry quality
- Better tuber shape than Russet Burbank
- Better tuber length index than Russet Burbank
- More resistant to Rhizoctonia than Russet Burbank
- Better fry color after cold storage than Russet Burbank
- Better specific gravity than Russet Burbank
- Tuber appearance is uniform in shape, eye depth, russet skin and white flesh.
- Highly uniform and stable genetic structure
