BEAUREGARD was released by Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station. It is a poor plant producer. The roots have a rose-colored skin and orange flesh. The roots do not become round in heavier soils or elongated in lighter soils. Yield is very good and it stores well. The variety is resistant to white grub and Streptomyces soil rot and is susceptible to root-knot nematode. It normally matures in 105-110 days.

BONITA demonstrates superior disease resistance to southern root-knot nematode, and exhibits a brighter white flesh and a drier flesh compared to O’Henry. It also demonstrates high yield characteristics in comparison to O’Henry and has a mid to late growing season. Bonita exhibited superior flesh color, smoother root surface, and a drier, sweeter flesh. Bonita storage roots have a tan skin with a pink cast at harvest, pink fades to tan after storage. The white flesh is more consistent with less color variation in comparison to O’Henry which has an orange cast. Sucrose content in Bonita is double that of O’Henry and makes for a slightly sweet flavor; total sugars are similar, but slightly higher for Bonita.

CAROLINA RUBY - VIRUS-INDEXED was released by the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service. It is an excellent plant producer, has high levels of resistance to Fusarium wilt, moderate resistance to soil rot but is susceptible to root-knot nematode. Yield is equal to or better than Jewel. Roots are bright red in color with very smooth skin, flesh is deep orange, and roots are fusiform and somewhat blocky. The leaves are heart shaped and green. Vines and petioles are green with light purple at the apex of the petiole. It stores well with few rots and little weight loss in storage. Carolina Ruby matures in 95 - 100 days.

COVINGTON - VIRUS-INDEXED was released by North Carolina Agricultural Research Service in 2005. The leaves are green and range from heart-shaped to slightly lobed. The roots are rose colored with an orange flesh. Shapes are blocky to fusiform with good size uniformity. The clone is resistant to Fusarium wilt and moderately resistant to Streptomyces soil rot (pox) and the southern root-knot nematode. Yields are high with a good pack-out of No. 1 grade roots. Eating quality is very good. Sprout production is moderate but about 10 days later than Beauregard. Harvest is 105-115 days after planting.

EVANGELINE - VIRUS-INDEXED was released by LSU Ag Center. It is disease resistant to southern root-knot nematode. The plant produces few oversize roots, but a majority U.S. No. 1 grade roots. The roots are orange fleshed and orange skinned. They contain an abundance of sucrose and are great for baking and microwaving.

GRAND ASIA - VIRUS-INDEXED ELITE is a purple skinned, cream-fleshed clone suitable for Asian and Hispanic markets. It has a high dry-matter content that cooks up dry and moderately sweet, not as sweet as the ‘Japanese’ cultivar. It is similar in appearance and performance to ‘Japanese’, except that it is not as susceptible to russet crack. It is resistant to fusarium wilt. It is susceptible to Streptomyces soil rot (pox) and the southern-root knot nematode. Yield is good when compared to similar varieties. Harvest is 120 days after planting.

HERNANDEZ - VIRUS INDEXED was released by the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service in 2008. It has moderately long purple stems. Leaves are cordate to slightly lobed with purplish veins. Petioles are purple at the base and at the junction with the leaf axis. Roots are fusiform, lightly grooved and red skinned. Resistance to Fusarium wilt and root-knot nematode is intermediate. It is moderately resistant to Streptomyces soil rot. It normally matures in 120-125 days.

JEWEL - VIRUS-INDEXED is the result of a cross between Centennial and Nuggett. The blocky roots are copper skin color with uniform orange flesh. It is slow to sprout, but produces strong plants with vigorous vine growth. The roots store excellently, have an outstanding baking quality, and produce an acceptable canned product. Jewel is resistant to Fusarium wilt, nematodes and internal cork. It normally matures in 115-120 days.

MURASAKI - VIRUS-INDEXED was developed by the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Service to provide a specialty-type, white-flesh variety. It has good culinary characteristics and does not require any additional baking time in comparison to dessert-type cultivars. The leaves are light to dark green with an obtuse or emarginated leaf apex and cordate leaf base. The roots are elliptical, and are characterized by their white flesh, high dry matter, and purple skin. Murasaki is resistant to southern root-knot nematode and Fusarium root rot, but tests also show that it does not perform well if planted late. Good yields are normally harvested in approximately 90-100 days.

O'HENRY is a white-skinned, cream-fleshed variant of Beauregard. Its maturity and disease resistance is the same as Beauregard. The leaves are green and mainly heart shaped. Vines and petioles are green with light purple at the apex of the petiole and at leaf axil. Eating quality is similar to Beauregard, though the flesh is a little drier, but not as dry as some of the old white varieties.
