Abstract: |
A field experiment-was carried out at RARS Parwanipur during 2003 and 2004 to evaluate the potato clones. Plant emergence, uniformity and percent ground foliage were significantly higher at clone 393280.64. Plant height was measured highest (58.7 em) in clone 392637.10 and highest number of stems per plant (3.6) in clone 393385.39. Clones 385556.4 and 393077. 159 were found resistant to late blight whereas clones 392657.8, 393280.64 and 392637.10 were tolerant to late blight. With respect to total and marketable tuber yield, six potato clones were produced significantly higher tuber yield as compared to check varieties. Based on the evaluation parameters, late blight infection, tuber yield and agronomic characters, clones 388556.4, 392657.8, 392280.64, 392637.10, 393077.159 and 393385.39 were selected for further evaluation. |
