Virus-free Xushu 34 Sweet Potato Slip Variety Introduction
Xushu 34 was developed by the Xuzhou Sweet Potato Research Center through crossbreeding with North China 166 as the female parent and Qunli No. 2 as the male parent. Its original line number is 81-29-34, and it is a high-quality, early-maturing edible variety. Xushu 34 has ochre-red skin and orange-red flesh, a long spindle shape, and good taste whether steamed, boiled, or eaten raw. In many places it has already been finely packaged for supermarkets, and city residents also give it as a gift to relatives and friends. Xushu 34 matures 20~30 days earlier than ordinary sweet potato varieties, allowing early harvest and early market release, filling market gaps, and delivering high economic returns, making it especially suitable for development in suburban areas. Virus-free Xushu 34 increases yield by 60~104% compared with ordinary Xushu 34. The usual yield is 2000 kg per mu for spring sweet potatoes and 1500 kg per mu for summer sweet potatoes.
