In order to research the influence of variety, seed tuber mass and the number of seed tuber sprouts on the development of generic stalks per tuber, two most cultivated varieties of potato, Desiree and Jaerla, were selected. The research was conducted in the north-western part of the Republic Srpska (Bosnia and Herzegovina), near Banja Luka, planting tubers weight 30+/-5 g, 50+/-7.5 g, and 70+/-10 g plants with one sprout per tuber and 2-3 sprouts per seed tuber. The results were statistically processed and they have shown that the number of developed generic stalks per tuber depends the most on the sprouts number, less on tuber mass and the least on variety. The largest number of generic stalks per tuber or thickest texture is achieved by planting tubers weighing 70 g with two to three sprouts per tuber.
