Abstract

Atousa cultivar is results of a cross-pollination of Caesar cultivar (as female parent) and promising colone 397009 from the International Potato Center (CIP) (as male parent) and various quantitative and qualitative evaluations during 12 years. To release Atousa variety, single plant selection, visual assessment, preliminary and advanced yield trials, adaptability test, study on resistance to fungi, bacteria and viruses was carried out in different places such as Karaj, Ardabil, Hamadan, Esfahan and Mashhad (Jolgehrokh). Although, Atousa cultivar had superiority to the Agria in terms of yield, but scatter Bi-plot analysis with respect to average yield and relative coefficient of excellence showed that its relative coefficient of excellence was almost the same as that of the Agria. The yield of Atousa cultivar under on-farm studies in Ardabil and Hamadan regions was 25.86% and 2.3% higher than that of Agria (control cultivar), respectively. Atousa cultivar is highly resistant to PVY that is very important and harmful virus around the world. The reaction of Atousa to Alternaria alternata was semi-resistant and it was semi tolerant to Rhizoctonia solani AG-3 and Rhizoctonia solani AG-4. The tuber dry matter of Atousa is 1.4% more than Agria and is excellent for frying and processing purposes. Atousa as a new potato cultivar is suitable for spring cultivation in the cold and moderately cold temperate regions of Iran.
