Potato and Tuber Crops

Berry Set

• A berry contains about 200 seeds. Upadhya et al. (1982) reported genotypic variations for seeds/berry.
• The seed size also showed a large variation.
• A high positive correlation was observed between average berry weight/size and number of seeds per berry (Upadhya, 1983; Upadhya et al., 1985; CPRI, 1984).
• No correlation has been observed between berry size and seed size, and between the 1000 seed weight and the seed number.
