Beauregard Sweet Potato

Convolvulaceae

Most widely grown US sweet potato. LSU release. Early-maturing at 90-105 DTM — critical for northern/marginal zones. Red-orange skin, deep orange flesh, moist texture. High-yielding. Disease-resistant (soil rot, Fusarium wilt, moderate root-knot nematode resistance). Requires slips (vine sprouts), NOT seeds or tuber pieces. CURING MANDATORY — uncured sweet potatoes taste starchy, not sweet. Harvest BEFORE first frost.
