Q960

Which one of the following is TPS variety of potato

A.
JH 222
B.
HPS
Answer
C.
PJ 376
D.
Jr 5857

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
TPS stands for True Potato Seed, which refers to botanical seeds of potato rather than vegetative tubers.

HPS 1/113 is a well-known variety developed specifically for cultivation using True Potato Seeds.

This variety was released for commercial production due to its high yield potential, disease resistance, and adaptability for TPS-based cultivation.

Other options like JH 222, PJ 376, and Jr 5857 are not recognized TPS varieties and are generally used in tuber propagation.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: HPS 1/113.
