The study was conducted to evaluate the growth and yield of organically grown potato entries and determine the profitability of growing potato entries for organic production of Balili, La Trinidad and Loo, Buguias, Benguet [Philippines]. Ganza had high percent survival, high vigor, wide canopy, heaviest weight of marketable and non-marketable tubers, and had the highest return on cash expense (ROCE) in both locations. Ganza was also resistant to late blight and leaf miner incidence. Among the MLUSA entries grown in Balili, La Trinidad and Loo, Buguias, MLUSA 8 had wide canopy, plant height, and higher number and weight of marketable and non-marketable tubers leading to relatively high ROCE.
