Narrative
Liberty is a sweetpotato variety evaluated in the field several years at the U.S. Vegetable Laboratory in Charleston, SC for yield, quality, and pest resistance. Bedded roots sprout readily. Liberty plants are vigorous and produce a leaf canopy that covers the ground. Roots of Liberty have a bright red skin and cream colored flesh. This cultivar shows moderate resistance to soil insect pests and nematodes. The variety Liberty was released jointly by USDA ARS and Clemson University in 2003. The material placed in storage at the PGRCU was virus tested tissue culture plantlets sent by Zvezdana Pesic VanEsbroeck, Director of the Micropopagation and Repository Unit, Department of Plant Pathology, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC.

Pedigree
Date released:
2003
Description:
'Liberty' was developed using a recombinant recurrent mass selection breeding technique. This cultivar originated as a seedling of the maternal parent 'White Regal' from an open pollinated polycross breeding block comprised of four randomized replications of 32 parental clones in 1992 at the USDA ARS, U. S. Vegetable Laboratory (USVL), Charleston, SC. Parental clones in the block were selected for high levels of multiple pest resistance combined with many good horticultural traits. White Regal was discovered as a stable somatic mutant from the cultivar 'Regal' (W-152) in 1990. The maternal parent of 'Regal', and thus White Regal, was W-99, whose maternal parent was W-48. The paternal parent of Liberty is one of the other 31 genotypes in the polycross nursery. Liberty was designated first as 93-223 when it was tested as a first year seedling in 1993. In 1997, this genotype was re designated W-341 for further field testing, and in 2003 it was released by USDA ARS and Clemson University as Liberty
