Antioxidant Compounds and Antioxidant Activity in “Early Potatoes”

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2008
The antioxidant content and the antioxidant capacity of both hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidant extracts from four "early potato" cultivars, grown in two different locations (Racale and Monteroni), were examined. There was a considerable variation in carotenoid content and weak differences in the ascorbic acid concentration of the examined ...

The early history of the potato in Europe

Euphytica, 1993
Although many crops were brought to Europe by Columbus and others soon after the discovery of the New World in 1492, the potato arrived much later. This is because it is a cool-temperate crop of the high Andes of South America, and these were not discovered by the Spaniards until 1532.

The Onaway potato, an early variety

American Potato Journal, 1961
The Onaway variety is resistant to common scab, late blight, and mild mosaic, but susceptible to verticillium wilt and early blight. It is a high-yielding, white-skinned early variety that produces medium to large tubers with fair cooking quality. Chip tests do not rate it as one of the better varieties for chipping.

Potato early dying—A serious threat to the potato industry

American Potato Journal, 1985
Potato early dying (PED) is characterized by a loss of plant vigor during mid to late summer followed by senescence and death of the crop a few weeks prior to normal maturity. This disease is of serious importance in areas of long-term or intensive potato production and is largely uncontrolled.

Chemical control of potato early blight and its effect on potato yield

American Potato Journal, 1970
Potato early blight infection was reduced significantly by Daconil 2787, Difolatan and Manzate D. Rates of 0.50 1b/A to 1.5 1b/A were effective until inoculum loads increased as the season progressed then the higher rates were significantly more effective than the lower ones.

Sable, a new early variety of potato

American Potato Journal, 1966
Sable is an early sizing potato variety of midseason maturity. It is comparable with the variety Warba in yield of marketable tubers 80 to 90 days after planting. It has white, smooth, bright, attractive tubers with shallow eyes, and is moderately resistant to common scab. It is not recommended as a main crop variety.

Patterns of spatial arrangement of early potatoes

European Potato Journal, 1969
Yield comparisons were made at three stages of maturity between half and whole tubers ofUlster Prince planted equidistant triangularly (row width 33 cm), and whole tubers planted at twice that row width at the same seed rates which averaged 4.5 and 9.0 tonne/ha.

Selection of young potato seedlings for earliness

European Potato Journal, 1963
In the “Estacion de Mejora de la Patata” (Station for Potato Breeding) at Vitoria (Spain), a criterion has been found which enables late types of potato seedlings to be discarded at an early stage of growth. This criterion has been used during the period 1959–1962 in the breeding of early varieties, and has proved very useful.
