Genetic variability studies for tuber yield and yield attributes in Ethiopian released potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) varieties.

ABSTRACT: Information on the extent of genetic variability and association among quantitative traits are vital for any crop improvement program and the development of suitable selection strategies. Limited research has been carried out thus far on potato genetic variability and trait association. This study on genetic variability and association among quantitative traits was conducted to assess the extent of genetic variability among yield and agronomic traits to identify superior varieties for the breeding program. To this effect, 20 improved varieties and a local cultivar were planted at two locations in central Ethiopia during the main cropping season of 2017/18 in a randomized complete block design using three replications. Analysis of variance of tuber yield and yield traits at each location an
