Abstract

Kufri Himalini is a medium maturing potato variety suitable for cultivation in Indian hills. This variety can also be grown in north-central plains. It has a high level of resistance to late blight in foliage and moderate resistance in the tubers. It has medium sized, oval-oblong, white tubers with pale yellow flesh and excellent cooking quality. It yields higher than varieties Kufri Jyoti, Kufri Giriraj and Kufri Shailja, and also has better keeping quality. The cultivation of this variety may provide stability to potato cultivation in the hills where late blight disease is a recurring feature.
