A comparison of five clones of virus-free Netted Gem potato from British Columbia and Idaho

Virus-free clones were developed from meristem tips of five selections of Netted Gem (Russet Burbank) potato which had been grown separately for at least 40 years. During three years of comparative trials, plant and tuber characteristics of the five clones were identical. There were no significant differences in total yield. Differences in marketable yield and, tuber set were few and inconsistent.
