| dc.description.abstract | Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the world’s most important food crop. A study was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Madenur, Hassan, during kharif-2010. Two experiments consisting of evaluation of early and medium maturing advanced potato hybrids were carried out. Among early maturing advanced potato hybrids, high GCV and PCV were observed for plant height, number of stems, number of tubers per plant, marketable and total tuber yield. High heritability coupled with high GAM were observed for plant height, number of tubers per plant, marketable and total tuber yield, tuber diameter, non-reducing sugars, potato leaf roll virus and Spodoptera. Path co-efficient analysis revealed that plant height, number of leaves, number of tubers per plant, tuber weight per plant and marketable tuber yield at both genotypic and phenotypic level had a positive direct influence on the yield. Genotypes J/97-168 and Kufri Pukhraj performed well under southern transitional zone of Karnataka. Among medium maturing advanced potato hybrids, high GCV and PCV were observed for plant height, number of stems, number of tubers per plant, marketable and total yield and total sugars. High heritability coupled with high to moderate GAM were observed for all the characters except chlorophyll content. Path co-efficient analysis revealed that number of stems, number of leaves, number of tubers per plant, tuber weight per plant and marketable tuber yield at both genotypic and phenotypic level had a positive direct influence on the yield. Genotypes 200/P-26, MS/99-1871 and Kufri Pukhraj performed well under southern transitional zone of Karnataka. | en_US |
