Introduction
More than 70% of potato in India is grown in
north Indian plains; the largest number of
cultivars has been developed for this region.
Cultivars have also been developed for
north Indian hills and special problem
areas viz., Sikkim and North Bengal hills
and South Indian hills (Table 5).
The cultivars developed for the plains
fall in 3 maturity groups i.e. early (7080 days); medium (90-100 days) and
late (100-110 days).
The maturity groups for the hills are early (120125 days); medium (130-135 days) and late (135145 days).
Each variety varies in its potentials to contribute
towards yield basing on the agro ecological
conditions.

Biotic and a biotic resistance varieties
In India, the focus has been on developing cultivars resistant to
Phytophthora, suitable under short-day conditions
In fact, Indian potato varieties are already popular in many of
the countries.
The selections I-822 and I-1085 are grown as the cultivars
Krushi and Sita. Furthermore; Indian potato varieties enjoy a
high degree of consumer preference.
Two Indian varieties, Kufri Chandramukhi and Kufri Lauvkar, are
very popular in Afghanistan and can be equally good in other
central Asian countries.
Thus, the varietal development programme of India would better
suit rather than the long-day variety programmes.
The emphasis has also to be on developing heat tolerant and
drought resistant cultivars.
