Eight TPS progenies along with controls, viz., TPS/C-3 and 92PT-27 were evaluated at Patna during 2002–05, for their yield potential as transplants and seedling tuber crops. Highest survival percentage of seedlings as well as total and marketable tuber yields were recorded in population JX-214 × TPS/D-150. This population also showed a high degree of resistance to late blight and tuber uniformity comparable with the controls. Thus, JX-214 × TPS/D-150 may be suitable for commercial cultivation in Bihar plains.
