For North Carolina growers, the Covington Sweet Potato is a hometown hero. Developed by NC State University over years of research spanning from the late 90's to its official release in 2005, the variety was named after a popular and esteemed sweet potato scientist at the university, Henry M. Covington.
Disease Resistance Characteristics: Resistant to fusarium wilt, the russet crack strain of sweetpotato feathery mottle virus, and moderately resistant to southern root knot nematode.
