Yukons are susceptible to potato virus Y and late blight. Also infamous for poor emergence and low yields, which may be partly remedied by planting uncut seed. Released by AgCanada in 1980.
Yukon is from a contraction of the words in the Gwich’in phrase chųų gąįį han, which means ‘white water river’ and refers to the pale color of glacial runoff in the Yukon River. Indigenous Royalties.
