The specific gravity of AC Belmont is lower than Superior. When boiled, the tubers of AC Belmont have a good, somewhat moist texture; when baked the texture of AC Belmont is relatively dry. AC Belmont is highly resistant toVerticillium albo-atrum, moderately resistant to PVY,Fusarium coeruleum, F. sambucinum f.6. andRhizoctonia solani.
