Evaluation of Potato Cultivar for Growth and Yield Parameter

Abstract

The present investigation on evaluation of varietal performance of various potato varieties under Pune Conditions was initiated in Oct 2012. Potato tubers of Kufri Lauvkar, Kufri Badshah, Kufri Pushkar, Kufri Surya, Kufri Khyati, Kufri Ashoka, Kufri Jyoti, Kufri Pukharaj were planted on ridges and furrows. The results revealed that Kufri Surya recorded significantly higher total tuber yield (20.67 t/ha) followed by Kufri Pukharaj (18.45 t/ha). However percent plant emergence and foliage senescence were found non-significant. Whereas results in respect of yield depicted that the variety Kufri Lauvkar produced the lowest tuber yield of 16.23 t/ha. Tuber dry matter (19.69%) was recorded to be the highest in Kufri Surya which was significantly superior in comparison to the remaining varieties. The least incidence of late blight (9.69%) was recorded on Kufri Khyati which was at par with K. Surya (9.74%). The least incidence of early blight (10.29%) was recorded on K. Lauvkar which too was at par with K. Surya. Keeping this in view K. Surya may be recommended as promising variety for Pune region

Performance of Short-duration Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Hybrids and Varieties for Growth and Yield Attributing Characteristics in Chambal Region of Madhya Pradesh, India

“…The data indicated that hybrids and controls did not affect significantly with regard to final emergence at 30 DAP and ranged from 89.33% to 95.11% in the present study. Present results are in accordance with Verma et al [7], Deshmukh et al [8], Preetham et al [9], Sati et al [10], and Sadawarti et al [6] who also noted non-significant differences in the final emergence percentage among varieties. Planting of wellsprouted tubers in the present trail resulted in better germination in all the hybrids and varieties.…”

“…For total yield, three early maturing (J/9-141, J/7-15, J/7-37) hybrids were found superior in the pune region at 60 and 75 days crop [19]. Current results were conformity with Singh and Lal [25], Deshmukh et al [8], Sadawarti et al [22], Sadawarti et al [30], Eaton et al [15], Ebrahim et al [23], Solomon et al [21], and Kaur and Khurana [34]. The higher yield in the Kufri Khyati (28.22 t/ha), Kufri Ganga (28.69 t/ha), Kufri Pukhraj (28.28 t/ha) and hybrid P-27/J/-05 (25.59 t/ha), P-36/J/8-91 (26.12 t/ha), and P-40/J/8-85 (26.31 t/ha) at 60 days and in Kufri Mohan (41.26 t/ha) Kufri Khyati (40.77 t/ha), Kufri Ganga (39.34 t/ha), hybrid P-40/J/8-85 (38.7 t/ha), P-27/J/-05 (38.31t/ha), P-36/J/8-91 (30.76 t/ha), and P-31/J/7-37 (30.46 t/ha) at 75 days is correlated with higher growth and vigor parameters of the plants viz.…”

Evaluation of Biochemical Properties and Sensory Parameters of Short Duration Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Hybrids and Varieties

“…75, 90 DAP and senescence reported by Kumar et al [18]. Current result was also supported by Lemma Tessema et al [16], Khan et al [25], Bekele and Haile [14], Mishra et al [26], Sadawarti et al [27], Deshmukh et al [28] and Abbas et al [15]. In the present study also variation was recorded in terms of dry matter in hybrids and varieties and none of the hybrid/ varieties gave higher dry matter at 60 and 75 days hence found to be not suitable for processing at early days.…”
