Abstract:
The experiment entitled “Validation of potato apical rooted cuttings for their performance under field conditions” was carried out during 2021 - 2022 under irrigated condition. The experiment was laid out with six treatments and four replications in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) at RHREC (Regional Horticulture Research and Extension center), UHS Campus, GKVK, Bengaluru under the University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot (Karnataka). Observations were recorded for plant height (cm), number of stems per hill, leaf length (cm), number of compound leaves per plant, days to maturity, number of tubers per plant, average tuber weight (g) total tuber yield per plant (g) total tuber yield per plot (kg) and late blight disease incidence (%). Among the six treatments, treatment (T2 – Kufri Himalini apical rooted cuttings) performed better for the all the studied characters except for leaf length, treatment T1 – Kufri Jyoti apical rooted cuttings had better performance for leaf length.
