Short duration, good storability of the harvest combined with good level of production were the reason cited by more than 37 percent potato farmers for preferring potato crop. cv Kufri Sindhuri was the most preferred cultivar. Among the six major attributes, disease resistance was ranked as the most important attribute in improved cultivar, followed by higher yield and sustainability of yield.
