Abstract
The potato is a very important crop in Albania and the cultivation of new cultivars with high productivity and better quality is very significant. This study was conducted to test some imported cultivars of potato and explore some features in their characterization and evaluation, with the aim of increasing interest in those that are the best for Albanian farmers, as well as for other studies. Thirteen potato cultivars of foreign origin were tested in a field trial for their morphological and agronomical characteristics under the climatic conditions of the Tirana region. It was found that among the potato cultivars studied there is a significant variation, both in the characterization traits (qualitative traits) and in the evaluation traits (quantitative traits). Drawing on the conclusions reached, we recommend the most suitable cultivars for cultivation in this region.
