Abstract

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of three different substrates on field establishment of in vitro generated plantlets of three potato varieties viz. Lalpakri, Cardinal and BARI TPS-I. Substrate comprised of 50% sandy-loam soil and 50% cowdung found suitable for plant establishment and subsequent growth of the plantlets. There was no significant difference among the varieties in respect of in vivo establishment, but significant differences were observed on plant height, growth rate and vigour. Combined effects of various substrate and interaction between substrates and varieties were significant in respect of plant establishment, height, growth and vigour.
