Replication data for: Evaluation of advanced potatoes clones for drought tolerance in arid zone in Rajasthan, India.

Eight CIP-bred potato clones (V1 = 392745.7, V2 = 392780.1, V3 = 397006.18, V4 = 399101.1, V5 = 301029.18, V6 = 380583.8, V7 = 388972.22, V8 = 391580.30) were evaluated along with two control varieties Kufri Pukhraj (early bulking) and Kufri Surya (heat tolerant). Sprouted seed tubers of 40-45 mm size were planted on 5 November 2012 at 60 x 20 cm distance in a plot size of 4.8 × 1.2 m2. The field experiment was laid out in strip plot design with two irrigation regimes: I1 = Normal Irrigation (eight irrigations) and I2 = Deficit irrigation (five irrigations) as horizontal factor and ten clones/varieties as vertical factor. Organoleptic evaluation by panels: to evaluate the appearance, taste and texture of boiled samples by clone and control variety. There were total 58 participants: 40 men and 18 women.
