In regional field trials, Shasta, an exclusive dual-purpose
potato variety brought to you by California-Oregon Seed,
Inc., yielded 54% more than Shepody and 15% more than
Russet Burbank! In fact, in over 80% of the field tests
conducted so far, Shasta has outperformed other
comparable varieties. Shasta has high disease resistance
and good processing traits plus high tolerance to
metribuzin.
With Shasta growers’ production costs can be significantly
reduced due to the variety’s lower nitrogen requirements
and less dependence on costly chemicals to control disease.
Shasta is available to commercial growers from line-
selected, disease-tested stock and is backed by the same
quality assurance and cus-tomer service you’ve come to
expect from us.
