Abstract

Ipomoea batatas ‘NC05-198’ is a high yielding, orange fleshed, smooth skinned, rose-colored, table-stock sweetpotato. Plants from beds are early and storage root shape is generally not affected by cool planting conditions. ‘NC05-198’ produces uniformly shaped and sized roots resulting in a high pack-out of No. 1 roots by sweetpotato packers, giving it a high economic value. It is tolerant to internal necrosis. Based on multiyear disease evaluations, ‘NC05-198 is resistant to fusarium wilt, moderately resistant to Streptomyces soil rot, and moderately susceptible to southern root knot nematode.
