AVERRE (NC05-198) produces orange fleshed storage roots that are generally oblong to elliptic. Storage roots are longer than Covington but straighter than Beauregard. NC05-198 is useful in soil conditions where Covington tends to become bally. Total marketable yields are high and equal to Beauregard and Covington. It is resistant to Fusarium stem wilt, moderately resistant to soil rot (Streptomyces ipomoea), and moderately susceptible to Southern root-knot nematode. NC05-198 is suited for growers who have internal necrosis issues associated with Covington and for growers who need a plant that is suitable to early plantings, but should only be considered a 6-8 month storage cultivar. PLANT PROTECTION APPLIED FOR, sub-license required to produce in NC, acreage fees apply.

BAYOU BELLE is a new deep orange flesh, red/purple skinned sweet potato. Sugar content is similar to Evangeline; however it has a more firm texture when baked. Production characteristics in plant beds are similar to ‘Beauregard’ but it consistently yields 10 % higher than ‘Beauregard’. Shape is slightly improved over ‘Beauregard’, but root to root variability does exist. The days to harvest are similar to ‘Beauregard’. Disease characteristics are similar to ‘Beauregard’ except for higher levels of resistance to root knot nematode.

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.

COVINGTON 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 packout 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 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.

MAHON was developed from continuous selection and reselection from over 25 years for eating quality, productivity and visually appealing shape. Mahon has an orange flesh with a rose color skin. Mahon has an outwardly spreading, dense canopy with leaves palmate, lobed and veined alternate. Normally Mahon leaves have 7 lobes. Petiole average lengths are thinner and shorter compared to Covington. Mahon tends to be affected greatly by soil fertility and water from rain or irrigation. Mahon is excellent for eating with a unique leaf shape for vegetable sweetpotatoes. US Plant Patent

MURASAKI-29 was developed by the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment State 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-29 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.

ORLEANS It is a new orange flesh, light rose skinned sweet potato. It is a twin to ‘Beauregard’ in many ways. Skin and flesh color are similar to ‘Beauregard’ and the sugar profiles are identical to ‘Beauregard’ so flavor is unchanged. Production characteristics in plant beds and the field (days to harvest), disease resistance, and yield are similar to ‘Beauregard’, but with fewer jumbos and improved quality. Growers will need to purchase a license, report acreage, and production locations to Louisiana. Patent applied for.

PURPLE MAJESTY (NCPUR13-0315) produces purple-fleshed, smooth skinned, storage roots that are generally elliptical and blocky. The skin color is dark purple. The leaves of Purple Majesty are alternate and simple in structure, and cordate to lobed in shape with 1-3 teeth to slight lobing and 0-3 lobes. The leaves have a smooth texture and matte finish. The shape of the central lobe is triangular. Stem tip anthocyanin coloration is absent and stem tip pubescence is absent. It produces uniformly shaped roots with a high percentage of number 1 grade sized roots. Purple Majesty averaged 189% of the total marketable yield (TMY) of ‘Stokes Purple’ and 114% the TMY of ‘Covington’. Purple Majesty is moderately resistant to Fusarium wilt, susceptible to Streptomyces soil rot and to southern root knot nematode,Meloidogyne incognita.

PURPLE SPLENDOR (NCPUR13-0030) It produces purple-fleshed, smooth-skinned, storage roots that are generally blocky to round elliptic. The skin color is dark purple. It produces roots shorter than ‘Stokes Purple’ for soils and conditions where ‘Stokes Purple’ can be long. The leaves of Purple Splendor are alternate and simple in structure, and cordate in shape with slightly to moderately lobed in shape with 0-3 lobes. The leaves have a smooth texture and matte finish. The shape of the central lobe is semi-elliptic. Stem tip anthocyanin coloration is absent and stem tip pubescence is moderate. Purple Splendor averaged 152% of the total marketable yield (TMY) of ‘Stokes Purple’ and 106% the TMY of ‘Covington’. Purple Splendor is moderately resistant to Fusarium wilt, moderately susceptible to Streptomyces soil rot and resistant to southern root knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita.

RADIANCE was released by LSU Ag Center. Radiance is an orange flesh, purple-red skinned sweet potato capable of high yields in northern latitudes. It has shown superior disease resistance to fusarium wilt. This variety produces US#1 grade and total marketable yields equal or higher than ‘Covington’ and ‘Orleans’ in Candian sweetpotato production regions. It tends to have more Jumbos than ‘Covington’ and ‘Orleans’, indicative of its earliness.

VERMILLION was released by Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station. It is a red-purple skinned, orange flesh sweetpotato. Roots are elliptical to ovoid. A typical inflorescence of ‘Vermillion’ has one cluster of three to five flowers per peduncle. Individual flowers are about 3 cm long from the base of the calyx, and the corolla is 3 cm wide at the opening. Vermillion yields are equal to 'Orleans' for U.S. #1 grade. It is susceptible to southern root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita). It is resistant to Fusarium wilt, and slightly more resistant than 'Orleans' for soil rot caused by Streptomyces ipomoeae. ‘Vermillion’ has harvestable roots ?120 days after planting.US PLANT PATENT
