Abstract: The study, "Agronomic and Tuber Characteristics of Sixteen Sweet Potato Varieties or Lines at Don Severino Agricultural College" was conducted at the experimental area of the Root Crop Center of the Don Severino Agricultural College from July to October, 19850 This study aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance of six— teen foreign, local and improved varieties and to select from them stocks that can be utilized as parental in hybridization and prospective varieties for large scale sweet potato production Sixteen varieties of sweet potato were evaluated and laid in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications Manures, Karingkit, Dilao, Imelda, Pirurutong, Georgia Red and BNAS 51 were the local strains of sweet potato used. Improved varieties from the Philippine Root Crop Research and Training Center stationed at VISCA were as follows: VSP-I, VSP-2, VSP-3, and V —27, Foreign clones were the CN-1028-15, CN—942—47 , 1-423, 1-4440 and AIS-352. Highly significant differences among the clones/ varieties of sweet potato were observed for the different agronomic and tuber characteristics evaluated. Results further showed that VSP—2 consistent €1 y gave the best performance with respect to the number and weight of marketable tuber per planted yield per hectare and eating quality of sweet potato tuber, Dilao VSP—I and CN— 1028—15 provided a remarkable good to excellent eating quality. However. in terms of number and weight of non— marketable tuber, Minuras gave the best result. Likewise, Karingkit exhibited a significant susceptibility to the sweet potato weevil infestation and gave the heaviest weight in kilograms of vines per plant.

Sixteen varieties of sweet potato were evaluated and laid in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications Manures, Karingkit, Dilao, Imelda, Pirurutong, Georgia Red and BNAS 51 were the local strains of sweet potato used. Improved varieties from the Philippine Root Crop Research and Training Center stationed at VISCA were as follows: VSP-I, VSP-2, VSP-3, and V —27, Foreign clones were the CN-1028-15, CN—942—47 , 1-423, 1-4440 and AIS-352.
Highly significant differences among the clones/ varieties of sweet potato were observed for the different agronomic and tuber characteristics evaluated.
