Description
Summary:Abstract– The main potato cultivars planted in Santa Catarina State and Brazil were developed in Europe under different climatic conditions from those found in southern Brazil. The Brazilian table potato market highly values the appearance of tubers with elongation, large shape, smooth skin, shallow eyes and yellow or cream flesh. The new potato cultivars need to maintain this pattern, associated with high yields, good culinary and commercial qualities and resistant to major diseases. The objective of this work is to present the new potato cultivars SCS376 Joaquina and SCS377 Paulina. These cultivars were selected at the Epagri/São Joaquim Experimental Station and evaluated in São Joaquim and Ituporanga, SC, Brazil, in the VCU/MAPA tests (official tests), under different soil and climate conditions and growing seasons. Based on the characteristics presentedand results obtained, the cultivar SCS376 Joaquina is indicated for cultivation in organic systems and the cultivar SCS377 Paulina for cultivation in conventional systems.
