Poor quality seed tubers and its high cost hampered, to a great extent potato production and its extension in developing countries like Bangladesh. TPS can potentially overcome some of the problems associated with the use of seed tubers. Disease transmission by TPS is little importance with that by seed tubers. TPS is known to transmit only a limited number of viruses (Jones, 1982). It is also economical to the traditional method of using seed tubers. The results from the study undertaken during 1986-87 at the PRC, BARI, showed the potential of seedling tubers as propagating materials alternative to costly seed tubers. Among the different progenies Serrana x DTO-33 and Atzimba x R-1286 gave comparable yield with varieties Cardinal and Kufri Sindhuri raised conventionally. It is also remarkable that open pollinated progeny of AVRDC 1282-19 also gave promising results next to the above two hybrids.
