Abstract

The experiment conducted with eight orange-fleshed sweet potato entries during Kharif seasons of 2018 to 2020 at the Regional Horticultural Research Station and extension center, Dharwad (Karnataka) revealed that the Sree Bhadra genotype yielded the highest total and marketable tuber yield of 26.75 and 23.53 t ha-1, respectively. TSp 16- 10 was found on par with Sree Bhadra producing total and marketable tuber yield of 26.67 and 23.17 t ha-1, respectively. Higher dry matter and starch content of 22.17 and 17.68 per cent were recorded in TSp 16-3, respectively. While ST-14 recorded the higher ß –carotene, 12.99 mg 100g dry-1 weight, the TSp 16-10 and TSp 16-5, recorded significantly higher and lower sugar content of 4.64 and 2.32 per cent, respectively.
