Abstract

Storage behaviour of two advanced potato hybrids, viz. HB/83-39 & HB/82-372 and two commercial varieties, viz. Kufri Jyoti & Kufri Giriraj, was studied from December–June at room temperatures in country store at Kufri (Fagu). The advanced hybrids were found superior in respect of weight loss and sprouting behaviour than commercial cultivars. From storage point of view they stored well until February for ware potatoes and until April as seed.
