MacKinaw Chipper is a new generation of chip variety with built in resistances like no other chipper in the marketplace today.  MacKinaw chipper produces a high percentage of A size tubers with a high specific gravity.  It is a full season chipper with a high yield potential.  Mackinaw has excellent chip processing ability from short term and long term storage. 

Utilization: Chip Market
Maturity: late Maincrop (105-110 DAP), slightly longer than Lamoka
Yield: High to very high, higher than Lamoka
Skin Color: light tan, lightly netted
Flesh Color: creamy White

Tuber Shape: Round 
Tuber Set: 10-12 
Dry Matter: 22.5-23.5%, higher than Lamoka

Variety Strengths: 

• High tolerance to heat and drought 
• Produces high percentage of A sized potatoes
• Resistant to PVY
• Resistant to Late Blight
• High tolerance to Common Scab
• Resistance to Rhizoctonia (black scurf)
• Tolerance to Verticillium wilt
• High Specific gravity, higher than Lamoka
• Moderate to high tolerance to stem end defects
• Low Invertase levels
• Black spot bruise susceptibility is comparible to Snowden
• Excellent chipping from short term and long term storage, chips into June - July from 48-50 F, does not need to be reconditioned at these temperatures. Preliminary data suggests it can chip from 46F-48 long term storage, surcrose levels tend to increase as strage temperature is decrease toward 46F and most likely requires reconditioning from 46 F 
• Very low incidence of Secondary growth, Growth cracks and Hollow heart
• Requires a wider in row spacing compared to most chipping varieties (12 inch in row)
• N fertility is less than Lamoka (5-8% less N)
