چکیده
In 2010, Colorado growers harvested 59,200 acres of potatoes with production valued at $293 million (USDA-NASS, 2011b). Additionally, Colorado was ranked 4 nationally in summer potato yields, 5 in fall yields, and had an estimated average of 390 cwt. per acre (USDA-NASS, 2011a). In the San Luis Valley of Southwestern Colorado alone, where the bulk of the state’s potatoes have historically been grown, 55,500 acres and 100 different varieties were planted for the 2010 fall crop (USDA-NASS, 2010).
