Abstract

‘Moonlight’ is a new early‐main to main crop potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivar with high yield potential that has been developed for both the fresh market and French fry production. Tubers are oval and have white flesh. ‘Moonlight’ has moderate resistance to the cream potato cyst nematode (Globodera pallida) and has the H1 gene for resistance to G. rostochiensis. It also has moderately high resistance to powdery scab (Spongospora subterranea) and bacterial soft rot (Erwinia sp.)
