ABSTRACT: Potato is not an indigenous crop of Iran but both red and white skinned potatoes are commonly grown. Present study was conducted to screen few potato varieties received from national breeding program and to evaluate them for recommending the cultivation of the best selected variety. Ten varieties i.e. Finna, Kondor, Ditta, Romano, Bright, Picaso, Santa, Marfona, Bolesta and Cosmos achieved form breeding program with control Agria were tested for their vegetative and morphological characteristics under local conditions. It was found that the cultivar Finna superseded all other cultivars with regard to growth and suitable morphological characteristics. The cultivars Kondor also appeared to be promising for adoption in future.
