Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) Varieties Evaluated with Respect to Growth Parameters at Jimma in Southwestern Ethiopia

Abstract: A B S T R A C T Field experiment was conducted to identify the most promising and adaptable sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) variety. Five Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato (OFSP) varieties: variety Beletech (192026 II), Birtukanie (Saluboro), Kulfo (Lo-323), Tulla (CIP 420027) and one local variety were used as experimental treatments and arranged in randomized block design with three replications. Data collected on growth parameters were analyzed using the GLM procedure of SAS Version 9.2. Variety had highly sign… Show more

“…Sweet potato ( Ipomoea batatas L.) is widely grown in developing countries due to its low production cost and its high adaptability ( Lin et al, 2007 ; Mekonen et al, 2015 ). Most people grow sweet potato as food and mainly consume their modified root tubers ( Yoshimoto et al, 2002 ).…”

“…Sweetpotato is also known for its ability to grow in drought-prone soils with low external input (fertilizer and pesticide) requirements, while thanks to a short growing cycle, it is also recognized as an excellent crop for post-crisis (hurricane, flooding, refugee settlement, etc.) situations ( Bradbury and Holloway, 1987 ; Mwanga and Ssemakula, 2011 ; Mekonnen et al., 2015 ). However, a range of biotic and abiotic stress factors such as viruses, weevils, and severe drought, are inhibiting farmers’ ability to achieve sweetpotato’s full yield potential ( Valverde et al., 2007 ; Mwanga and Ssemakula, 2011 ; Agili and Nyende, 2012 ; Kivuva et al., 2015 ).…”

“…Three orange sweet potato clones with high yield potential (≥30 t / ha) were selected and will be used to improve the existing superior varieties. Production of orange flesh sweetpotato and dried tuber material is a selection criterion as an indicator of the level of clone adaptation to certain environmental conditions (Mekonnen et al 2015). The number of tubers, tuber weights and tuber yields had high broad significance heritability values and high genetic progress promising.…”
