On Station experiments were conducted at ARS (Horticulture), Rajikot, Jumla for two consecutive
years (2010/1 I and 201 1112) to identify TPS families for seedling tuber production under Jumla
condition. Eleven TPS families were evaluated in RCBD with 3 replications. The results showed no
significant difference among TPS families in vegetative characters during 2010111 whereas they
differed significantly on yield attributing characters. Number of tubers per plot was the highest
(243.33) in No. 903027 and the lowest (72) in No. 902007. Tuber yield per plot was the highest (3.43
kg) in No. 903027 whereas the lowest (1.22 kg) in No. 988143. All the vegetative characters except
plant height and yield attributing characters were highly significant during 2011/12. The highest
emergence (100 %) was observed in No. 904013, 994014 and 988141 whereas the lowest (47.33%) in
No. 902007. Ground coverage was the highest (98.33%) in 903035, 994013 and 994014 whereas the
lowest (64.33%) in 902007. Number of main stem was observed the highest (3.33) in No. 902007
whereas the lowest {2) in 903027, 903051 and 903135. The highest number of tubers per plot (231.67)
was produced by No. 994014 whereas the lowest by 902007 (87.33). The highest tuber yield per plot
(4.67 kg) was observed in No. 994013 whereas the lowest (1.85 kg) in 902007. The result showed that
the highest tuber yield (3.25 kg/plot) was obtained/rom 994013followed by 903051 (3.24 kg/plot) and
903027 (3.15 kg/plot). Thus, yield potentiality of TPS progenies No. 994013, 903051 and 903027
should further be verified under farmer's field condition in order to draw conclusive results.
