Abstract

Storage behaviour of 7 advanced potato hybrids stored for four months during 1998–99 and 1999–2000 at ambient temperature at Modipuram in western UP, revealed minimum sprouting and least physiological and total weight loss in hybrids JW-160 followed by MS/89-60. The hybrids appear promising, considering their yield above 35 t/ha and resistance to late blight, for on farm storage to avoid distress sale at harvest.
