Targhee Russet is a darker-skinned russet potato variety that has shown higher total and marketable yields than Russet Burbank in most yield trials conducted in the western United States. A major strength of Targhee Russet is resistance to tuber soft rot, and it also has moderate resistance to common scab,...
Mountain Gem Russet is a potato variety notable for having both high early and full-season yields of oblong-long, medium-russeted tubers with higher protein content than those of standard potato varieties. Mountain Gem Russet has greater resistance to soft rot, tuber late blight, growth cracks and second growth than Russet Burbank....
Teton Russet is an early-maturing, medium-russeted, potato cultivar with high merit for both fresh-pack and processing. In early harvest trials in the Pacific Northwest, Teton Russet had total yields similar to Russet Norkotah, and higher than Ranger Russet and Russet Burbank. Marketable yield of Teton Russet in the early harvest...
Shepody potatoes were grown under sprinkler irrigation on sloping ground (4.2 to 8.5 percent slope) with and without mechanically applied wheat straw, grass straw, or reservoir tillage. Mechanical furrow mulching used 1,000 lbs/ac of wheat straw or grass straw. Mulched, non-mulched, reservoir-tillage, and check plots were irrigated 12 times with...
Huckleberry Gold is a purple-skin, yellow-flesh fresh market cultivar with similar culinary qualities to the market standard Yukon Gold. It has lower specific gravity, sucrose and vitamin C content, but a significantly higher level of tuber antioxidants than Yukon Gold. Notable disease resistant characteristics are Potato virus X resistance based...
Palisade Russet is a medium-late maturing, lightly russeted potato cultivar notable for its resistance to late blight (Phytophthora infestans) infection of foliage and tuber. Palisade Russet is suitable for processing with low tuber glucose concentrations observed following long-term storage at a temperature as low as 5.6A degrees C with consistently...
The fission Time Projection Chamber (fissionTPC) is a compact (15 cm diameter) two-chamber
MICROMEGAS TPC designed to make precision cross-section measurements of neutron-induced fission.
The actinide targets are placed on the central cathode and irradiated with a neutron beam that passes
axially through the TPC inducing fission in the target....
