Potato Variety "Sarme"
1990
Sarv, J. (Estonian Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, Saku (Estonia))
This cultivar resulted from a cross made at the Jogeva Plant Breeding Station in 1974 between the cultivars "Commandeur" and "M-987" and was passed over the State Strain Testing Service (SSTS) in 1985 as a medium-late high-yielding table potato variety slightly susceptible to potato wart disease and with relatively good late blight resistance. The both parents have resistance to host specific phenotypes of Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary. The Dutch variety C. carries R3 and the Siberian irradiation mutant M.-RlR2R4. The late blight seedling screening was made in 1977 with a population in which there were complex virulent strains of Ph. infestans. In field trials, experiments and lab tests the cultivar "Sarme" was compared with the Dutch variety "Eba" and with other Estonian potato varieties. The present paper gives in tables 1-3 data about the experiments of the last six years (1983...1988). In table 2, FGH are comparable average data from SSTS (8 trials) in Estonia in years 1986-1987
