Abstract:
Potato is the one of the most stable food crops of Nepalese people. It occupies first position in productivity and second in total production as well as fifth in total area coverage among the food crop grown in Nepal. Potatoes are grown widely from the southern terai at altitudes below 100 masl to the northern mountains as high as 4,000 masl. There are various factor leading to low or decline the production of potato as compared to other leading country. In case of Nepal, unavailability of region-specific variety and susceptibility of late blight of potato are the major constrains among other. This review is an attempt to review all the yield and yields attributing characteristics of different potato varieties that are grown in Nepal. This review will cover number of shoots per plant, plant height, plant uniformity, disease infestation, plant vigor etc. and yield attributing characters data i.e., tuber number per plant, tuber weight per plant, yield per plot, yield per hectare, tuber sizes by number and weight were recorded throughout the research.
