Description In total 30 tetraploid BIOT clones and 4 commercial varieties were evaluated in multi-location trials in nine field experiments, in five departments of Peru using participatory varietal selection. Trials were planted according to local practices using 40 plants per plot with a randomized complete block design with 3 replications at each location. The plot size was 9.72m2, with 4 rows of 2.7m long and 0.9m between rows. Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium (NPK) (180-180-160) and organic amendment (“guano de corral”) was applied before planting. Soil samples of 1 kg each were collected before planting and sent to the agricultural chemistry laboratory Valle Grande – Cañete for soil, salinity and micronutrient content analysis. Participatory varietal selection (PVS) evaluations were conducted following the protocol “Participatory Varietal Selection of Potato Using the Mother & Baby Trial Design: A Gender-responsive Trainer’s Guide”. The data was collected using Highly Interactive Data Analysis Platform, i.e. HIDAP, software. Evaluations at the flowering, harvest and post-harvest (storage) phase were performed. Farmers identified and ranked characteristics of potato that they considered important, and afterwards they selected the genotype they preferred. Each farmer’s varietal selection and the criteria for selection were recorded.
