1. Potato variety for cultivation can be selected according to the soil and climatic conditions as well as market demand and susceptibility to disease like potato blights, which causes maximum damage to the potato crop. Potato varieties used for chips making have uniform tuber size, shape and flat eyes. These varieties are generally low in reducing sugars which can avoid browning in chips. Introduction
