Origin & Breeding History: The variety 'FL2215' originated from a cross between 'FL1840' and 'FL1867', made near Rhinelander, Wisconsin, USA in 1996. One hundred seeds from the cross were sown in the greenhouse in 2001 and four tubers per seedling were harvested from 86 of the seedlings. A single tuber was harvested from 12 of the seedlings and planted in the field in the spring of 2002. 'FL2215' was selected from this group and given the initial designation of 2002 218.04. Selection criteria included tuber appearance, tuber number, specific gravity, chip colour after storage, tolerance to Common Scab and resistance to Golden Nematode.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'FL2215' were conducted during the summer of 2010 in Drummond, New Brunswick. Plots consisted of one row with a row length of 18.5 meters and a row spacing of 90 cm. Plants were spaced 30 cm apart within the row. There were 60 plants per variety in the trial.
