BELLEVUE
Varieties
|
BELLEVUE is an orange flesh, light copper skinned sweet potato released by the LSU Ag Center. The skin is lighter than ‘Beauregard’ and remarkably smooth with few lenticels, grooves or lateral root scars. The flesh is uniformly deep orange and a bright color when baked. The sugar content in baked Bellevue is similar to that found in ‘Beauregard’. It displays a highly consistent, uniform root shape, excellent pack out percentage, and excellent storage life. It is particularly well suited to sandy environments where southern root-knot nematode is a problem and quality shape elusive. Bellevue is resistant to Fusarium wilt, highly resistant to Root knot nematode, resistant to soil rot, intermediate resistant to Rhizopus soft rot, and very susceptible to Bacterial soft rot. PLANT PROTECTION APPLIED FOR, sub-license required to produce in NC, acreage fees apply.
