Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Nine exotic potato genotypes namely Yukon Gem, Modoc, Figaro, Forza, Red Sunset, Verdi with three check varieties BARl Alu-7 (Diamant), BARl Alu-25 (Asterix) , BARl Alu-28 and (Lady Rosetta) were evaluated to see their performances at Jamalpur locations during rabi 2013-14. Among the genotypes significant variations were found in yield and yield contributing characters. All entries showed better emergence percent with medium plant vigor than the check varieties where Modok showed the highest emergence % at 30 Dap. The highest plant height and tuber weight/hill was recorded from Yukon Gem. No significant variation was observed regarding grading % of 28-55 mm sized tuber for number as well as weight. The highest tuber yield and dry mailer % at 90 DAP was recorder from Figaro and Verdi respectively.

Keywords: Exotic varieties, Yield, Potato, Jamalpur

Location: RARS, Jamalpur

Start Date: 00-00-2013

End Date: 00-00-2014

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Potato

Objectives:

To determine the yield potentiality and agronomic traits and suitability as a commercial variety in Bangladesh condition.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at RARS, Jamalpur during the rabi season of 2013-14. Nine exotic potato varieties namely Yukon Gem, Modoc, Figaro, Forza, Red Sunset, and Verdi with three check varieties BARI Alu-7 (Diamant), BARI Alu-25 (Asterix) and BARI Alu-28 (Lady Rosetta) received through different seed companies were included in the trial. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCRD) with three replications. The unit plot size was 3m x 3m. Well sprouted tubers were planted from first half of December 2013 maintaining the spacing 60 cm x 25 cm. Manures and fertilizers were applied @ Cowdung 10 ton, Urea-350 kg, TSP-220 kg, MP-260 kg, Gypsum-120 kg, Boric acid-15 kg and ZnSO₄-12 kg per hectare. Half of urea and full dose of other fertilizers were applied immediately before planting the seed in furrows and mixed properly with the soil. The rest amount of urea was applied as side dressing at 35 days after planting. Irrigation, weeding, earthing up and other intercultural operations were done as and when necessary for raising a good crop. The crops were sprayed at regular interval with Dithane M-45, Secure and Admire to prevent diseases and insects. The crop was harvested at the first half of March 2014. Data were recorded on different parameters and analyzed statistically.

Achievement/Findings:

Among the genotypes significant variations were found in yield and yield contributing characters. All entries showed better emergence percent with medium plant vigor than the check varieties where Modok showed the highest emergence % at 30 Dap. The highest plant height and tuber weight/hill was recorded from Yukon Gem. No significant variation was observed regarding grading % of 28-55 mm sized tuber for number as well as weight. The highest tuber yield and dry mailer % at 90 DAP was recorder from Figaro and Verdi respectively.
