It has been suggested that heirloom yacon varieties may be carrying viruses. I don’t see much evidence of virus infection, but out of an abundance of caution, I have stopped growing them until I can get them tested. Instead, we are transitioning to offer our new seed grown varieties, which are hopefully virus free. I have the heirlooms in tissue culture and plan to reintroduce at least some of them once they have been tested, but it could be a year or two before that happens. Quantities are small this year as we transition to the new varieties and I expect that they will sell out quickly. Things should be back to normal next year. |
