Abstract

Crosses were made between 4 potato genotypes and the registered variety Nif in 2015. The F1 seeds obtained from these crosses were grown in pots in the greenhouse to obtain potato clones. The clones selected were grown in seedbeds in 2016 and clones with high yield and tuber number were selected. Selected clones were grown in the field and selection was applied for high yield and yield components. The results obtained could be summarized as followings:
There were significant variation among the clones and some of them had higher yield than that of the control genotypes. The following 20 clones were selected for the regional yield trials: 3, 21, 184, 185, 194, 195, 196, 202, 204 (Agria x Nif); 89, 90 (6/7 Clone x Nif); 205 (Juwel x Nif) and 153, 159, 160, 163, 164, 174, 176, 177 (Bettina x Nif).
