TN90LC, a medium-maturing variety with moderately high yield potential, has dropped in popularity due to increases in the use of the new “KT” varieties. Released in 1990, TN 90LC offers a broad range of important characteristics. TN 90LC became a popular variety due to a good disease resistance package, including moderate resistance to black shank, some tolerance to blue mold, black root rot resistance, and resistance to common virus diseases. TN 90LC still has a small but loyal following due to its agronomic characteristics, including small stalk diameter, upright growth (ease of handling), and good cured-leaf color. Though it does not have the yield potential of some of the new varieties, TN 90LC can produce relatively high yields. Some growers prefer the smaller size and ease of handling with TN 90LC and are willing to accept lower yield potential. In addition to blue mold tolerance, it has level 4 resistance to both races of black shank and high root rot resistance. Its lack of Fusarium wilt resistance is a concern in areas where Fusarium has become widely established.
