Abstract

In a trial involving TPS progenies as transplants and the cultivar Kufri Bahar, the yield of Kufri Bahar (311.2 q/ha) and TPS population HPS-I/13 (292 q/ha) were found similar. Kufri Bahar gave a higher proportion of ware size tubers. Percent survival of seedlings of all TPS progenies was similar to the standard cultivar Kufri Bahar. Population HPS-25/13 recorded the highest number of tubers (150 per sq meter). Growing potato through TPS was highly profitable in comparison to seed tubers.
