The investigation entitled "Evaluation of true potato seed (FPS) families for seedling tuber
production in mid and far western terai of Nepal" was carried out at Regional Agriculture
Research Station Khajura. Nepalgunj during the winter season of 2066/67 and 2067/68. Studies
were performed taking eight genotypes ofTPSfamilies namely MF/1 x TPS67, HPS!l/67, HPS7/67,
TPS7 X TPS67, C98HT-200.14 X C99HT-2-58.1, C96H-02.4 X C99HT-1-58.1, C96H-4 X C99HT-
64.8, C96H-02.4 x C99HT-2-32.17. The families were tested in randomized complete block design
(RCBD) with 3 replications. Plot size was lm x lm. Nursery beds were raised to 15 em height with
the mixture of soil and farm yard manure at 1: I ratio. Fertilizers were applied@ /50:100:50 kglha
(NPK). The major objectives of the experiment was to identifY the suitable true potato seed (FPS)
families for seedling tuber production in nursery bed with good uniformity, color, shape, resistant
to disease and yield The tuber yield produced by HPS 11167 (2.614 kglm2
) and C98HT-
200.14xC99HT-2-58.1 (2.596 kglm1
) were obtained higher than other tested families. The maximum
plant uniformity was also recorded on HPSI/167. None of the tested families were found resistant to
late blight. On the basis of the results obtained it can be concluded that TPS family HPSI//67 and
C98HT-200.14 x C99HT-2-58. 1 of potato were suitable for seedling tuber production in mid and
far western terai of Nepal. However for recommendation it requires further investigation.
