Abstract

A field experiment was accomplished at the Khulna University Germplasm Centre of Bangladesh from November 2020 to March 2021 to evaluate the growth and yield performances of ten selected potato varieties for Khulna region following a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. BARI Alu-63 required the minimum time (12.67 days) for emergence and the highest percent of emergence (82.5%) was obtained in BARI Alu-37. BARI Alu-36 produced the tallest plant (98.17 cm) which was statistically similar to BARI Alu-40 (97.72 cm) and BARI Alu-37 (96.33 cm). BARI Alu-37 also had the biggest leaf. The highest number of tubers per plot (777), tuber shape index (1.49), dry matter content (25.99%) and specific gravity (1.32) were recorded in BARI Alu-47, BARI Alu-37, BARI Alu-48 and BARI Alu-47, respectively. BARI alu-37 also produced the highest weight of grade I potato. Disease incidence was the highest in the plot of BARI Alu-48 (91.28%) and lowest in BARI Alu-48 (23.81%). BARI Alu-40 resulted in the highest tuber yield (17.11 t h^-1). Overall, BARI Alu-40 or BARI Alu-37 can be selected for cultivation in Khulna region. However, more experiments should be conducted before making a final recommendation.
