Downloads
Abstract: The name Tola was given to a sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas(L.) Lam.] variety with the pedigree of TIS 884-40, which was developed by Bako Agricultural Research Center between 2007 and 2010. The Tola variety and the other pipeline sweet potato genotypes were evaluated against the standard check (Balo) across three locations; Bako, Gute and BilloBoshe for two consecutive years (2009 and 2010) under regional variety trial. The variety Tola out-yielded the standard check (Balo ) by about 80.378%. The variety also showed resistance to major disease and insects and it was found to be stable over the tested locations.
