Abstract
Sweet potato is one of the priority root crops as source of carbohydrates and
considered as staple food as alternative for rice in our country. Identifying sweet potato
varieties adapted to specific location for specific use is very important. The identification
of high yielding sweet potato cultivars with good eating quality to be recommended for
planting would mean more profit and expanded production. Hence, this study was
conducted, to determine the most adaptable local highland sweet potato variety under
lowland condition. (Swerte Variety, Gislayan Variety, Pakak Variety, Bokagan Variety,
and Bengueta Variety,) from January 15, to May 4, 2017. RCBD in three blocks was
employed.
Based on the research finding, the Bengueta Variety was the most adaptable in
the locality with a storage root yield of 5811.11 kg/ha.
