Status and issues in Potato Production
STATUS
Current Scenario
India is producing 41.3 m tons (2011-12) from
1.9 m ha at an average productivity of 22.1 t/ha.
2.8 m tons (7.5%) of the produce is processed.
2.96 m tons (8.5%) of the produce is used as
seed.
0.1 m tons are exported
Post harvest losses are nearly 16% of the total
produce.
Major factors that contributed to
the growth of potato in India
Varietal development – Developed 49 high yielding varieties
for all regions and seasons.
Establishment of Indigenous seed production system –
Seed production shifted from the hills to the northern plains
to cater to the large demand of seed.
Growth in cold stores capacity – Helped in storing and
maintaining the supply chain in off season across the country.

Agro-techniques of seed plot technique
- Seed Treatment
- Presprouting
- Early planting
- Mechanization for faster
cultural operations
- Control of aphid vectors and
diseases through regular sprays
- Rouging
- Haulms cutting before the aphid
count reached critical levels.

ISSUES
 Wide gap in attainable and actual yields how to bridge it?
 Area expansion – Tropicalization ?.
 Low availability of quality seed.
 High Post harvest losses.
 Increased diseases and Pests pressure.
 Climate change – how to manage?
Yield gaps between attainable yields and actual yields how bridge it?
Developed a simulation model
which would enable estimation of
climatic potential for yield, for
estimation of yield gaps and
climate change studies.
Potential Yield (t/ha)
Large areas in the Indo Gangetic
plains and the neighbouring states
have similar and high yield potential

The yield gap is wider (around 70%)
Here the stresses are due to
 Seed quality
 Pests
and
diseases
(BW,
Whiteflies, Thrips, mites, PTM)
 Water
 Nutrients
How can the production targets be realised in the
context of impending climate change?
 Impact of climate change on potato production has been assessed – Under
no adaptation
 Yield decline in India will be 2.6% by 2020 and 15.3% by 2050
 Impact of climate change will be positive in NW plains, slightly negative in
NE plains and severely negative in plateau regions.
 Change in date of planting is the best adaptation strategy and in Punjab
and Western UP it is likely to increase or sustain the tuber yield in 2020
and 2050
 In Eastern UP and Bihar the delayed DOP might sustain the potato
production with only minor losses (0-10%)
Future Varietal Requirements
 Short duration varieties which can fit in cereal based
cropping system
 Heat tolerant varieties to enable spatial diversification of
potato to non traditional areas and to minimize the impact
of climate change
 Varieties with multiple disease resistance (WB, LB, Viruses)
 Processing varieties to meet the growing demand of the
consumers

How to meet the seed requirement to realise the
genetic potential?
 Multiplication in Foundation and certified seed production stages
not as per desired rate
 Solution - Public – Private Partnership
 Identify suitable sites in non traditional areas for seed production
 Development and exploitation of new technologies
New Seed Production Technologies (Micro Propagation)
Microplants
Culturing in liquid media
Microtuber in vitro
Microtubers
Microtubers: 50-60% survival
Minitubers
Field multiplication-1
Field multiplication-2
Basic or Breeder Seed
Aeroponic based seed production system
Adopt ecological niche modelling techniques to
identify sites suitable for seed production in
non traditional areas
Sites suitable for seed
production through seed
plot technique (similar to
the Indo Gangetic plains)
exists in the North
eastern states and can
greatly alleviate seed
deficiency of the area
How to minimise the post harvest losses?
 Post harvest losses are to the tune of 16% of the total production.
 Varieties with improved keeping quality.
 Storage loses: Pre and post cold store losses by elevate temperature
technology
 Transportation losses: use of refer varieties.
 Packaging?
 On site storage?
 Uniform distribution of cold stores
