Abstract
Abstract ‘Rojo Blanco’, a new cultivar of sweet potato (Impomoea batatas Lam), has been released by Tuskegee Institute for the Latin trade in New York, Chicago, and Denver marketing areas, as well as Latin American countries. ‘Rojo Blanco’ should be considered a substitute for the ‘Boniato’ or ‘Cuban’ sweet potato, which is rough, veiny, produces less than 5% U.S. no. 1 roots and does not store well. ‘Rojo Blanco’ is intermediate in resistance to fusarium wilt, (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. batatas), which is comparable with that of ‘Centennial’ and therefore, should be satisfactory for most growing conditions. It is susceptible to the southern root-knot nematode, (Meloidogyne incognita), (Table 1).
