The Determination of Tuber Yield and Some Agronomic Characteristics of Potato Breeding Lines and Varieties Grown in Winter Season in Cukurova Region

This study was conducted at the Cukurova University research farm in winter season between January and June in Cukurova Region (Adana-Turkey) in 2018. The objective of this study was to determinate the tuber yield and some agronomic characteristics of potato breeding lines and varieties grown in winter season. The experimental design was a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The twenty one potato breeding lines and varieties (table and processing types) such as Agata, Agria, Alegria, Austin 2T, Doruk, Hermes, Maraton, Kutup, L.Olimpia, Laura, Markies, Nahita, Sante, Soraya, Testa 3T, Macar-140211, Macar-140607, Macar-140717, MEÇ-140209, MEÇ-140717 and Zirve were used as a plant material in this research. Tuber yield and tuber number per hill, marketable tuber percentage, tuber yield per hectare and dry matter content were investigated in this research. The tuber yield of the breeding lines and varieties varied between 12840-37930 kg ha-1 per hectare. The dry matter content of the research materials varied between 13.75% and 22.67%.
