Abstract: A field study was conducted on evaluation of table potato hybrids for three consecutive years during Kharif 2015 to 2017 at HREC, Hassan, Karnataka under AICRP-Potato. An experiment was conducted by using RCBD with four replications. The tubers were planted at 60 cm X 20 cm spacing with soil application of recommended dose of fertilizers (75:75:100 kg NPK/ha) and FYM (25 t/ha) as per the package of practices of UHS, Bagalkot. The genotypes such as AICRP-P-15, AICRP-P-22, AICRP-P-30, AICRP-P-31, Kufri Jyoti, Kufri Himalini, Kufri Pukhraj and Kufri Surya were evaluated for marketable, total tuber yield and rottage tubers during harvest at 75 and 90 days after planting. The pooled data of three years revealed that, Kufri Himalini recorded highest marketable tuber yield of 15.97 and 17.49 t/ha, total tuber yield of 18.23 and 19.97 t/ha at 75 and 90 DAP, respectively. Similarly, Kufri Himalini was noticed least rottage tubers of 0.64 and 0.72 t/ha at 75 and 90 DAP, respectively compared to other genotypes. It was concluded that hybrid Kufri Himalini was found best suitable table potato hybrid for production in Southern Dry Zone of Karnataka during Kharif season.
