Abstract
Present study was conducted to screen few exotic potato varieties received from abroad and to evaluate them for recommending the cultivation of the best selected variety. Five varieties i.e. Gigant, Wada, Mirakel, Fambo and Arkula imported form Holland were tested for their vegetative and reproductive characteristics under local conditions. It was found that the cultivar Fambo superseded all other cultivars with regard to growth and yield potential. The cultivars Wada, Mirakel and Arkula also appeared to be promising for adoption in future. Gigant cultivar was found at bottom in terms of growth and yield parameters. Key words: exotic potato cultivars, growth and yield, vegetative and reproductive characteristics
