Abstract

'Taedong Valley' is a high yielding and processing potato cultivar, which is a clonal selection resulting from a cross between 'W870' and 'A88431-1'. It is a medium maturating cultivar with medium plant height and light green foliage. 'Taedong Valley' has profuse flowering habit and light purple flowers. Tubers are smooth, round, and with yellow skin, light yellow flesh, medium eye depth. Tubers have medium dormancy and good keeping quality. 'Taedong Valley' has stable yield under wide range of climatic conditions. It is resistant to common scab and potato virus Y, but moderately susceptible to late blight. It is also resistant to most of the disorders, particularly dehiscence, hollow heart and internal brown spots. This cultivar has high level of tuber uniformity and capable of yielding 43.6 t/ha which is about 9.0% higher than the control potato cultivar 'Atlantic' under optimum agronomical practices.
