Six potato cultivars and three advance stage hybrids were evaluated for tuber yield were harvested at 75 and 90 days after planting at Potato Research Station, SDAU, Deesa.In field trials conducted during four years from 2014-15 to 2017-18, cv.Kufri Khyati produced the highest total and marketable tuber yield followed by popular varieties Kufri Pukhraj and Kufri Badshah under both maturity groups.Storage of these genotypes for 75 days at ambient temperature revealed minimum total weight loss in cv.Kufri Laukar followed by Kufri Badshah, Kufri Pushkar and Kufri Pukhraj.The highest yielder Kufri Khyati having medium shelf life.The cultivation of high yielding variety Kufri Khyati as early and main crop is likely to enhance the present productivity of potato in Gujarat and bringing about higher remuneration to the farmers.Due to medium shelf life of Kufri Khyatinot advised for heap storage.
