AVERRE (NC05-198)
Varieties
|
AVERRE (NC05-198) produces orange fleshed storage roots that are generally oblong to elliptic. Storage roots are longer than Covington but straighter than Beauregard. NC05-198 is useful in soil conditions where Covington tends to become bally. Total marketable yields are high and equal to Beauregard and Covington. It is resistant to Fusarium stem wilt, moderately resistant to soil rot (Streptomyces ipomoea), and moderately susceptible to Southern root-knot nematode. NC05-198 is suited for growers who have internal necrosis issues associated with Covington and for growers who need a plant that is suitable to early plantings, but should only be considered a 6-8 month storage cultivar. PLANT PROTECTION APPLIED FOR, sub-license required to produce in NC, acreage fees apply.
