Year: 2006
Type: article
Abstract: Kufri Chipsona-3 is a medium maturing, late blight resistant potato variety with round oval tubers, white smooth skin and cream/pale yellow flesh. The variety is meant for processing, especially chip making, and is an improvement over the existing varieties Kufri Chipsona-1 and Kufri Chipsona-2. The total and process grade tuber yields of Kufri Chipsona-3 are higher than those of Kufri Chipsona-1 and Kufri Chipsona-2. The total tuber yields are higher than even the popular tabl variety Kufri Bahar. Kufri Chipsona-3 yields excellent defect free tubers. The chemical maturity of its tubers occurs at 110 days. The tubers have low reducing sugars (< 50 mg/100 g fresh wt) at harvest and even after six months of storage at 10-12oC. The dry matter content of its tubers is > 21%. This variety can be grown in the main season over entire North-western and Northcentral Indian plains.
