Availability of large quantities or quality TPS at reasonable price is imperative for raising commercial crop of potato through TPS technology. However, the information on cost of production of TPS is very scarce and varies from place to place. The experiment conducted at CPRI Campus, Modipuram (NW plains) during 1999–2000 crop season revealed the cost of TPS production to be Rs. 6592/- per kg which can be reduced further by increasing the area of crossing block.
