Variety profile
Regional performance reviews
New England
Yukon Gold is widely planted in New England fresh-market and home-garden potato production — yellow-flesh appeal in farmers' market sales channels and reliable mid-season maturity fit the regional growing season. Maine extension has an active potato variety trial program.
Yukon Gold is moderately susceptible to common scab on alkaline soils — manage soil pH below 5.5 in scab-prone fields. Late blight fungicide protection required in wet seasons. Storage life is shorter than Russet Burbank.
