Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at Central Agricultural University, Imphal and Manipur, during kharif season 2014, to study the growth, yield and quality of seven white flesh sweet potato, laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Among the different cultivars tested, the cultivar 40038, recorded the maximum LAI (0.95) and the tuber length of (13.00 cm). The tuber diameter (5.50 cm) was the highest in the cultivar DOP-93,19, with better sized tubers and greater tuber yield (205.56 g) in DOP- 93,19 led to the highest total yield (38.96 t ha-1), closely followed by cultivar RS-92. Quality analysis, revealed IGSP-18 as the richest source of starch (21.16%), followed by C-1, while X-24 registered the maximum total sugar (2.70%) and Sree Bhadra with maximum crude protein (1.03%). The study showed that, cultivars DOP 93, 19 and RS-92, which have superior growth parameters, can be suggested for growing, under Manipur’s weather condition.
