Abstract
Liberator is a round white chip-processing selection with medium-high specific gravity and resistance to scab (Streptomyces scabies Thaxter). The tubers will chip process out of the field and from 10 C storage. The tuber appearance is similar to Norchip. Post-harvest tuber tests indicate a tolerance to fusarium dry rot. Liberator was tested in the North Central Regional Trials and the National Snack Food Association Trials. Under irrigated conditions the yield and specific gravity are similar to Snowden and Atlantic. Liberator has a full-season vine maturity that is similar to Snowden and tuber dormancy equal to Atlantic.
Resumen
Liberator es una variedad de papa de tubérculos redondos y blancos para procesamiento; tiene de mediana a alta gravedad específica y es resistente a la sarna (Streptomyces scabies Thaxter). Los tubérculos pueden ser procesados para chips inmediatamente despues de ser cosechados o despues de ser almacenados a 10 C. La aparencia de los tubérculos es similar a la variedad Norchip. Los tubérculos recién cosechados son resistentes a la pudrición por fusarium. Liberator fue evaluado en experimentes de la Region Central Norte de los Estados Unidos y por la Asociación National de Snack Food. Esta variedad posee un alto rendimiento y una gravedad específica similar a Snowden y Atlantic en cultivo irrigado. Tiene también maduración media tardía, similar a Snowden, y dormancia equivalente a Atlantic.
