- Abstract
Potato is one of the major horticulture crop in Indonesia, but potato productivity in Indonesia is still relatively low compared to several European countries such as Belgium and Netherlands. One of the major problem was the availability of Generation 4 tuber as potato extension seed, which then forced farmer to use lower quality seed. This study aims to determine the effect of using different seed generations on potato performance and production. The study was carried out in Aek Natolu Jaya village, Lumban Julu sub-district, Toba Regency, North Sumatra from November to March 2020, using potato seed from five generation. The results showed that G0, G1, and G2 had the same performance and was the best performance based on the height and diameter of the stem and had the best yield and started to decrease in the G3 and G4 treatments. The highest number of tubers harvested was found on G0 and G1 treatments. G0, G1, and G2 has higher yield and also produced better tuber grades than G3 and G4. G2 has high yield and the only generation produced Grade A tubers, which indicates that G2 is more suitable to be used as extension seed.
