Abstract

Abstract Fourteen sweet potato [ Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] clones were grown in fertilized and unfertilized tests at four locations during 2 years. Significant effects of genotype-environment interactions on yield components of sweet potato were found. Yields were generally higher in fertilized than in unfertilized tests, and number of roots was higher in fertilized tests for most grades except for canners and total number of roots. Rank correlations of stability of clones in fertilized and unfertilized tests were low for all traits measured. Implications of the results on testing and selection of sweet potato are discussed.
