Abstract:
The present study entitled “Performance of different varieties of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) on quality parameters under water stress condition of Chhattisgarh plains” was conducted during rabi season 2019-20 and 2020-21 under AICRP on Potato at Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G). Among the irrigation levels, the quality parameter was recorded significantly higher under I₁: (No water stress) during first and second year i.e. starch content per cent (20.17 and 20.10 %), dry matter content per cent (20.47 and 20.15 %) and found numerically maximum for specific gravity (1.07 and 1.07 g cm²). Among varieties, the treatment V₁: (AICRP-P-59) was recorded significantly higher starch content per cent (20.70 and 20.76 %), dry matter content per cent (21.14 and 20.83 %) and recorded numerically higher for specific gravity (1.06 and 1.07 g cm²) under V₄: (Kufri Pukhraj). Where, in case of interactions I1V1: (No water stress + AICRP-P-59) was recorded numerically higher starch content per cent (21.12 and 20.99 %), dry matter content per cent (22.00 and 21.76 %), were specific gravity (1.07 and 1.09 g cm²) under I₁V₄: (No water stress + Kufri Pukhraj) and higher uniformity of tubers size, shape was found under V₁: (AICRP-P-59) and V₄: (Kufri Pukhraj) for both irrigation levels.
