“…In both seasons, HPS I/67 and Acherrana x TPS 67 hybrid recorded the highest values (Table, 1), while HPS I/TPS 13 hybrid had the lowest values. These results are in agreement with those obtained by Rowell et al (1986) and Pandey and Gupta (1996).…”

Seven true potato seed (TPS) hybrids were evaluated in beds at the International Potato Centre farm (CIP), Kafr El-Zayat, El-Gharbia governorate, Egypt during 2002 and 2003 spring planting seasons, and the resultant seedling tubers were planted during 2002 and 2003 fall planting seasons and during 2003 and 2004 spring planting seasons. This study aimed to produce seed potato free of virus diseases and to reduce the importation of seed tubers from the European countries at expensive prices. The results showed that HPS I/67 hybrid was the best in vegetative characteristics measured as vigor, uniformity and stem length, while HPS I/TPS 13 hybrid showed the lowest values. In addition, HPS I/67, HPS II/67 and Serrana x TPS 67 hybrids gave the highest seedling tuber yield /m 2 ., whereas, the lowest yields /m 2 were obtained by Atzimba x TPS 13 and Acherrana x TPS 67. The stored seedling tubers that were produced from the seven TPS hybrids in spring season and tubers of Diamant cultivar were used as planting material during fall and spring seasons. Diamant cultivar showed significant increments in uniformity, number of stems and plant height after 45 days from planting. On the other hand, Diamant cultivar recorded the lowest significant values in plant vigor compared with the studied hybrids, but it had the highest mean tuber weight during fall and spring seasons. Highest number of tubers per plant was found in HPS I/67, HPS II/67 and Acherrana x TPS 67 hybrids. Whereas, the highest yield per plot as well as per feddan were recorded by Diamant cultivar and HPS II/67 hybrid in the fall season and by Diamant fallowed by HPS I/67 hybrid in the spring seasons. The highest values of virus infection percentage with PLRV, PVX and PVY were obtained by Diamant and Atzimba x TPS 13, while Serrana x TPS 67 and HPS I/67 hybrids had the lowest virus infection values.

“…Selection for seedling vigor prior to transplanting would help in improving transplant survival as well as general performance for tuber yield (Rowell et al, 1986 ;Gopal, 2004). Data in Table (1) indicated that in both seasons HPS I/67 had the highest values.…”

“…The second method gives better results but the last method appears at present to be the most widely used (12,56). It requires two growing seasons but allows the prospect of producing tuberlets in a more suitable environment under sound crop management (23).…”

Use of true potato seed in the tropics: Potentials and realities

In the tropics, the high costs and limited availability of high quality tuber seed are the major constraints for successful potato production. In the last fifteen years or so, true potato seed (TPS) has emerged as one alternative with exceptional potential for eliminating many of the problems associated with tuber seeds. The technology has generated greater expectation and many local potato programs are already using TPS within their propagation programs. Yet, given the level of expertise needed to manage TPS-based potato production, it is not clear whether TPS can be successfully used at the farmer level. This paper reviews key features of the TPS technology and assesses the performance of TPS at various locations in the tropics.

SummaryThe vast majority of cultivated potatoes are vegetatively propagated, outbred autotretraploids. Disease problems dominate the maintenance of vegetative stocks. There have been recent proposals to propagate the crop by sexual seed in order to evade some of those disease problems. Some success has been achieved but controlled crosses are necessary fo avoid inbreeding depression and seed propagation is not as cheap or simple as had been hoped. The idea has evoked wide interest throughout the tropics and has had some (and increasing) practical impact on China, India and Vietnam. There is a strong tendency to use ~tuberlets' borne on crowded nursery plants rather than to grow true seedlings. Some seedling families have looked locally attractive but it is not always realised that to use them implies the abandonment of about half the genetic variation, a heavy price to pay for disease avoidance. There is emerging recognition that vegetative and seed propagation are complementary rather than competitive and that good breeding programmes will therefore serve both. This review concentrates upon genetic/plant breeding aspects of propagation by seed, a subject hitherto largely neglected in the literature.
