?

Which one of the following is TPS variety of potato

A) JH 222 B) HPS $$\frac{1}{{113}}$$ C) PJ 376 D) Jr 5857

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer: Option B

TPS stands for True Potato Seed, which refers to botanical seeds of potato rather than vegetative tubers.

HPS 1/113 is a well-known variety developed specifically for cultivation using True Potato Seeds.

This variety was released for commercial production due to its high yield potential, disease resistance, and adaptability for TPS-based cultivation.

Other options like JH 222, PJ 376, and Jr 5857 are not recognized TPS varieties and are generally used in tuber propagation.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: HPS 1/113.

The cost of seed tubers and spread of virus disease can be greatly minimized by using ‘true potato seeds’. The hybrids developed by Central Potato Research Institute viz., HPS 1/13, HPS 11/13 and HPS 24/111 are suitable for true potato seed production. The seeds are raised in nursery beds like other vegetables and seedlings are transplanted 30 days after sowing. For raising one hectare of crop, a quantity of 100 g seed is required.
So, correct answer is HPS 11/13 instead of HPS1/113
