Abstract

Highest tuberlet yields were recorded in HPS-7/13 (6.66 kg/m2 followed by HPS-I/13 (6.02 kg/m2). Per cent survival and average tuber yield from tuberlets of all TPS progenies were similar to standard local cultivar Kufri Bahar. Marketable size tubers from F1C1 tuberlets TPS progenies were found to be the lowest, while the seed size tuber (below 50g) was higher in TPS progenies. Tubers of HPS-7/13 and Kufri Bahar were most uniform in shape, size and colour.
