MODOC

Modoc (NDO4300-1R)is an early maturing, round to oval, red skinned clone suitable for fresh market use. It produces total yields slightly lower than those of Dark Red Norland and Red LaSoda but with a more desirable size profile, with higher yields of small, high-value tubers, and fewer culls.

Tubers are round to oval, and seldom exhibit growth cracks or irregular shape. Modoc tubers have specific gravity (total solids/starch). Internal defects, including hollow heart and brown center, and external growth cracks occur less frequently. 

Modoc vines mature slightly earlier and are sensitive to metribuzin injury. Modoc is susceptible to most fungal diseases. Experience with seed increases indicate it is not particularly susceptible to virus diseases and expresses readily discernible foliar symptoms to PVY. It is susceptible to late blight foliar and tuber infection.
