Abstract:
The study was conducted to morphologically characterize the different potato entries; determine the best performing entries under organic production; and to determine the profitability of using the different potato entries under organic production.
Variation among the tuber skin color was observed. Tuber ranged from white cream, red and brown. High dry matter content was obtained in all the entries except for entry 306522. Entries 303223, 303405, 304416 and 307521 were acceptable based on their sensory characteristics.
Potato entries 305185, 304416 and 306522 out yielded the other potato entries and were observed resistant to late blight infection. These entries also obtained high return on cash expense, therefore, recommended for organic production in La Trinidad, Benguet.
