Rel<strong>at</strong>ive ranking of clones in the L<strong>at</strong>e Season Tri-St<strong>at</strong>e Trial for variability in yield<br />

of French fries from 8- to 10-oz tubers. Variability is expressed as the standard<br />

devi<strong>at</strong>ion (calcul<strong>at</strong>ed across ID, WA and OR production sites) for the yield of fries<br />

≥3 inches in length (% by number) from 8- to 10-oz tubers. High values reflect<br />

more vari<strong>at</strong>ion in tuber shape and thus fry yield from st<strong>at</strong>e to st<strong>at</strong>e. For example,<br />

PA99N82-4 had a length to width r<strong>at</strong>io of 1.4 (see previous page), resulting in<br />

58% of the tuber yielding French fries th<strong>at</strong> were ≥3 inches in length. However,<br />

tuber shape varied across production regions (above), resulting in fry yields<br />

ranging from 49.6% to 66.4% (58 ±8.4%). Tuber length to width r<strong>at</strong>ios and the<br />

associ<strong>at</strong>ed percentage yield of fries are shown on the previous page. Bars with<br />

the same letter are not significantly different (P≤0.01).<br />
