Summary

In the mild and short winter of the Ganges plains, the yield contributing characters such as number of shoots/plant, plant height, leaflet size, tuber yield/plant and tuber number/plant were studied for fifty varieties of potato. From the simple, partial and genotypic and phenotypic correlation studies it was observed that leaflet size, number of tubers/plant and plant height were closely connected with the yield of potato tubers. A multiple regression equation was also prepared and it was found that the leaflet size had the maximum influence on yield followed by number of tubers/plant and plant height.
