Abstract

Sweet potato crop productivity is influenced by several factors such as the growing season, soil type, irrigation system, plant propagation materials, use of genotypes, plant nutrition and others. The objective of this study was to evaluation of vegetative growth and total chlorophyll of four sweet potato genotypes in the highland and lowland. Field experiment was conducted on April – July 2018 was arranged in a randomized block design with two factors, the first factor is the genotypes of sweet potato (UbiSibolu accession from SaribuDolok Village Simalungun, UbiSibolu accession from Kasemak Village Simalungun and UbiSibolu accession from BatangBeruh Village and Beta – 1 variety). The second factor was altitude of planting area (highland 1440 MSAL and lowland 28 MSAL). The result showed three local sweet potato genotypes from upland areas in Simalungun Regency and DairiRegency Sumatera Utara have the ability to adapt and grow well in the lowland and in the highland which are not their origin compared to varieties Beta-2 which is a national superior variety. Vegetative growth of four sweet potato genotypes is better in the lowland than in the highland.
