Abstract: |
A series of experiments were carried out at the Horticultural Research Station (HRS), Rajikot, Jumla and farmers field during two consecutive years during 2006 and 2007 in order to identify suitable potato clones with good uniformity, color, shape and resistant to pest and diseases and high productivity suitable for the Kamali region and areas having similar agro-climatic zones of Nepal. All the experiments were designed as Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The results of initial evaluation trial (lET) revealed that clone Kufri Chipsona-2 was the highest yielder (19.03 t/ha) followed by 394003.161 (18.57 t/ha) and 394051.4 (17.78 tlha). All the potato clones evaluated under advance yield trial (A YT) were found comparable yield with existing Jumla local cultivar ranging. Of six different clones tested in farmer's field trial (FFT) clone 392222.25 was found highest yielder (13.9 t/ha) followed by Desiree (13.8 t/ha). Out of four different true potato seed (TPS) families tested under FFT, HPS Serana produced highest tuber yield (17.3 t/ha) followed by HPS II/67N (11.6 t/ha). Among the storage structures tested pit storage was found to be the best store for potato with -minimum weight loss (1.2 %) under Jumla conditions. |
