Abstract
To evaluate the early maturing cultures of Potato, a field trials was conducted in a randomized block design with four replications and ten treatments at the Ranchi Agricultural College Farm in the Rabi season of 1987-88.
Out of cultures/varieties tested, the cultures MS/78-62 and QB/A-9-120 were found to posses maximum yielding capacity. In disease rating, the percentage of Early-blight incidence was least in MS/78-62 (6.25) and was followed by QB/A-9-120 (8.75). No diseases were observed on harvested tubers except Black-seurf which ranged from 1 per cent (PH/F-1545) to 5 per cent (JN-1752).
