Variety profile
Regional performance reviews
Pacific Northwest
Russet Burbank is the dominant processing potato variety in the Pacific Northwest — Idaho and eastern Washington production is built around Russet Burbank for french fry processing. Long established performance under PNW irrigation systems and storage protocols.
Russet Burbank is highly susceptible to late blight in wet years — fungicide programs are mandatory. Heat-stress during tuberization can cause significant quality issues including hollow heart and sugar ends; yield consistency depends on irrigation management. New-generation russets offer improved disease packages.
