Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at ICAR-Central Potato Research Station, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh during 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 to evaluate high yielding table and processing potato varieties for commercial cultivation for the North Central region under changing climatic situations. A total of 11 potato varieties viz Kufri Chandramukhi, Kufri Lauvkar, Kufri Khyati, Kufri Surya, Kufri Pukharaj, Kufri Jyoti, Kufri Bahar, Kufri Badshah, Kufri Garima, Kufri Pushkar, and Kufri Chipsona-1 got tested. The experiment was planted in three replications in randomized block design. Variation in growth parameters viz, germination%, Plant height (cm), compound leaves and stems/ plant and vigor were recorded between the three years of study and the year 2016-17 found best for these parameters. Dry matter % was recorded significantly better in the year 2015-16. WUE (Kg/hamm) was significantly higher in the crop year 2015-16 and 2016-17 for 60, 75 and 90 days of crop. Significantly higher marketable and total tuber (t/ha) yield were recorded in the crop year 2015-16 and 2016-17 over 2014-15. Among varieties, Kufri Pushkar (91.88) and Kufri Chipsona-1(92.57) recorded significantly higher germination % over Kufri Bahar (86.76). Variation among varieties was recorded for growth parameters. Dry matter was significantly highest in Kufri Chipsona -1 19.04, 19.49% and 21.77% for 60, 75 and 90 days crop respectively among all the varieties under test. WUE (Kg/hamm) was significantly highest in K. Pukhraj followed by Kufri Khyati and Kufri Pushkar for 60, 75 and 90 days crop. Similar trend for marketable and total tuber yield as well as higher net return and B: C ratio were recorded in Kufri Pukhraj, Kufri Khyati and Kufri Pushkar for 60, 75 and 90 days crop under varied climatic situations of three years. Hence, Kufri Chipsona-1 is identified for processing and Kufri Pukhraj, Kufri Khyati and Kufri Pushkar as table purpose varieties for cultivation. These varieties will sustain farmer’s income in the changing climate scenario under North-Central India.
