Abstract
An experiment was conducted at Breeder Seed Production Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Debigonj, Panchagoarh during rabi (winter) season of 2010-11 to test comparative potentiality of four exotic variety for releasing as a variety in the country. The tested materials were Redfantasy, Bellini, Redbaron and Omega along with two checks of popular varieties Diamant, and Cardinal. All the genotypes under the study expressed excellent plant vigor showing above seven (at 1-10 rating scale) except Redbaron. The highest number of stem/hill was counted at Cardinal (7.93) which was statistically similar to Diamant, and lowest was counted at Redbaron (4.20). The highest number of tuber/hill was counted at Diamant (15.23) which was statistically significant and lowest was found in Red fantasy (8.96). The highest yield was harvested at Redfantasy (43.08 t/ha) which was statistically similar to all other varieties except Omega (38.43 t/ha). Regarding yield at 90 DAP the varieties may be arranged in order to descending as; Redfantasy (43.08 t/ha), Bellini (41.17 t/ha), Cardinal (40.46 t/ha), Redbaron (40.18 t/ha), Diamant (39.81 t/ha) and Omega (38.43 t/ha). When tubers were graded and expressed in percentage, all the varieties produced maximum seed tubers both by number and weight within grade of 28-55 mm. based on overall performances, Redfantasy performed better as compared to check variety Diamant and Cardinal.
