C.M. Hutchinson and Doug Gergela2

Table 1. 

General Comments

The NE1014 Regional Project is a multi-state potato evaluation program developed to identify new potato clones. The production, adaptation, and performance stability of new potato clones is documented under a wide range of geographic, climatic, soil, and cultural conditions. The University of Maine produces and supplies all cooperators with similar seed.
