Abstract:
Tubers of potato varieties were assessed for storage behaviour at room temperature. The maximum, minimum temperature and relative humidity during storage period ranged between 26 to 40 ⁰C, 17-28 ⁰C and 18 to 82% respectively. The lowest weight loss was recorded in variety Kufri Chipsona-2 followed by Kufri Sultej. Highest dry matter content was observed in Kufri Sutlej. The information from this study can be utilized for further research work for processing and value addition. This can help farmers to choose and cultivate potato varieties as per the demand.
