“…Maximum number of tubers (697569) was counted in PRP 226567.2 followed by PRP 136769.1 (582465) and the lowest number (289757) in CIP 393617.1 (Table 6). Different potato varieties showed variable tuber number performance per plot [28]. Similar type of variable was also studied at Dailekh District of Nepal where the potato genotypes significantly differed on tuber number per plot [29].…”

An on-farm varietal trial was carried out to evaluate promising genotypes of potatoes received from the National Potato Research Program (NPRP), Khumaltar at Urthuchautara settlement of Patrashi Rural Municipality of Jumla, Nepal at an altitude of 2430 meters above mean sea level during two consecutive years 2019 and 2020. Four promising potato genotypes: PRP 226567.2, PRP 136769.1, CIP 395077.242, CIP 393617.1 and two check cultivars i.e. Desiree and Jumli Local were tested in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Each treatment was replicated four times. Compost was used at the rate of 20 tons per hectare (t/ha) and there was no chemical fertilizer used. Well-sprouted tubers of 25-50 g were planted at 60cm x 25cm spacing. Observations were recorded on vegetative parameters as well as yield attributes. Among different parameters observed most all the vegetative as well as yield and yield attributing parameters were found significant among each other whereas emergence at 45 DAP and plant height during 2020 were found non-significant. The highest tuber yield (30.88 t/ha) was recorded in PRP 226567.2 followed by PRP 136769.1 (23.89 t/ha). Based on the average of two-year results, PRP 226567.2(30.88 t/ha) and PRP 136769.1 (23.89 t/ha) were superior for the purpose of variety recommendation for high hills of Karnali province.

Irish Potato is an emerging crop of high economic value in Sierra Leone. Cultivation of the crop is limited, and farmers are faced with numerous problems in the production of the crop. This research was done to identify diseases resistant adaptable sweet potato genotypes under Sierra Leone condition. Six Irish potato genotypes collected from the Futa Jalon highlands in Guinea were evaluated in Kabala and Njala during 2013 and 2014 cropping season. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data was collected on agronomic parameters as wells as pest and disease. Data was analyzed using analysis of variance. Mean comparison was done using least significant difference (LSD) at 5% probability. Findings revealed that Kabala exhibited higher field establishment rates compared to Moyamba, with Spunta, Arnova, Nicola, and Mandola displaying significantly higher establishment percentages. Similarly, Spunta consistently exhibited the largest leaf area, vine length and highest plant vigor scores across locations. While all genotypes were susceptible to Potato Virus Disease (PVD), bacterial blight, and late blight, Spunta displayed the highest resistance to these diseases. Variations in tuber number and weight per plant were observed, with Spunta (4.4 and 3.6 t/ha) and Mandola (3.5 t/ha) showing the highest yields at both locations respectively. Notably, Spunta consistently outperformed other genotypes in terms of yield across both locations. These findings underscore the importance of genotype selection tailored to local conditions and the need for disease management strategies to enhance potato production and food security in Sierra Leone. Further research focusing on breeding programs targeting disease resistance and yield optimization is warranted to address the productivity challenges faced by Irish potato cultivation in Sierra Leone.
