Abstract: A varietal trial was conducted to evaluate growth and yield attributing characteristics of five varieties namely; Cardinal, Janakdev, Khumal seto-1, Lal gulab, MS 42.3. The experiment was laid out on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. Parameters on, growth parameter such as plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant, number of main stem per hill, canopy diameter (cm)(at different days after planting) and yield parameters such as tuber weight per plant (g), tuber number per plant, grading of tuber according to weight. Collected data were analyzed using MS-Excel and Gene stat. At harvest, the tallest plant (30.05cm) was recorded in Janakdev and shortest in (20.08 cm) MS 42.3. Maximum number of leaves per plant (29.35) was observed in MS 42.3 and minimum number of leaves per plant (23.1) in Khumal seto-1. The highest (6.75) and lowest (3.15) number of main stem per hill was recorded in Cardinal and Khumal seto-1 while maximum (30.75 cm) and minimum (26.55 cm) canopy diameter was recorded in Lal gulab and MS 42.3 respectively. All the yield attributing parameters was found significant at 5% level. The maximum tuber weight per plant ( 330.5g) was found on Cardinal and minimum ( 152 g) on MS 42.3. The highest tuber of small size tuber (38.25) was found on MS 42.3 while highest number of large size tuber (14) was recorded on Cardinal. Tuber did not differ significantly among the varieties but numerically highest yield (14.703 ton/ha) was obtained from variety MS 42.3 and lowest (6.267 ton/ha) from Cardinal.
