Abstract
Nine varieties of potato were used in a hybridization programme initiated at Potato Research Sub-Station, Murree. Out of 53 crosses only 18 crosses proved successful with seed bearing berries/fruits. observations on morphological and yield components were recorded. The cross No.4 (Diamant x Bartina) showed excellent performances in all the characters except plant height followed by cross No.11 (Desiree x Miamant) and parent variety Diamant respectively. Many of hybrids were superior to parents in yield as well as other characteristics.
