Abstract:

Nieta is an early, white-skinned potato with vigorous growth and early bulking. In the Negev region of Israel it is suitable for the spring crop from February to June. The cultivar is resistant to heat stress, tolerant to Verticillium wilt (V. dahliae), and moderately susceptible to early blight (Alternaria solani). Tubers of Nieta, a table market potato, are long-oval, attractive in appearance, free of deformities, and with a high specific gravity. Yields of Nieta exceed those of Blanka, used as the control, by 26%. © 1988, Springer. All rights reserved.
