A trial comprising of four potato varieties viz; Diamant, Patrones, Cardinal and Desiree with three treatments of each variety was designed to study the effect of Mycoplasma infection on different yield factors. The crop raised with the infected seed and apparently healthy seed yielded 48% and 27% less tubers yield as compared to the healthy seed respectively. Mycoplasma infection also affected adversely the emergence. Infected seed gave 73% emergence while apparently healthy seed gave 77% emergence as compared to the healthy seed which recorded 83% emergence. The infected seed reproduced the infection upto 98% as compared to the healthy seed which got only 1.25% Mycoplasma infection while apparently healthy seed gave 20% infection. The Mycoplasma also reduced the size and number of tubers/plant in case of Diamont and Patrones while small sized tubers increased in case of Cardinal and Desiree.
