Results show that Baraka, Columbus, Solide, Signal, and Diamant had the highest yield with mean of 31.38, 31.34, 29.28, 28.65, and 28.54 t/ha, respectively. Based on the percent size distribution the same varieties had produced large size tubers compared to the other varieties. It was also noted that Fox variety had the lowest mean yield and lowest percent large size tuber produce
