| Nineteen German and five Dutch potato varieties were observed in relation to greening and sprout growth development in the tubers. The Dutch varieties Jaerla and Bintje and the German varieties Atica, Emergo and Topi were less susceptible to greening, but all the others in the second reading, 10 days after light exposition, showed the skin green or very green. Jetta, Broca, Wiebke, Palma, Lux, Rubin and Salvia, 5 days after light exposition also showed similar results. The varieties that showed early sprout growth were Omega, Jaerla and Bintje, being the latter slower in relation to development. Geelbling, Salvia and Spunta are late sprout growth varieties. |
