Storage behaviour of exotic potato genotypes and hybrid clones under natural condition
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the storability of hybrid clones and exotic genotypes at room temperature during April to August 2011 and April to August 2012. Fourteen hybrid clones and 14 exotic genotypes were stored for five months at ambient temperature. Hybrid clones 7.33 and 7.12 sh...

| Summary: | An experiment was conducted to evaluate the storability of hybrid clones and
exotic genotypes at room temperature during April to August 2011 and April to August
2012. Fourteen hybrid clones and 14 exotic genotypes were stored for five months at
ambient temperature. Hybrid clones 7.33 and 7.12 showed better performance in respect
of storage behaviour (minimum weight and rottage loss) at ambient temperature. The
maximum storability was found in Labadia, Liseta, Albaata, Lambada and Amanda exotic
genotypes. Moreover, hybrid clones 7.33 and 7.12 exhibited minimum weight and rottage
loss in both the hybrid clones and the exotic genotypes. Based on their storage behaviour
at ambient temperature, it may be concluded that hybrid clones 7.33 and 7.12 are found
to be suitable for storage under ordinary room temperature conditions
to 120 days and slow release to market for avoiding distress sale. |
