Abstract

The contribution of sweetpotato to the national economy is quite large with increasing export volume. Sweetpotato frozen were exported mainly to Malaysia, Japan, Korea and Singapore. The role of superior varieties is quite large in increasing the production of sweetpotato. Purple sweetpotato which is rich in anthocyanins is very useful for increasing body health in Covid 19 Pandemic. The objective of this research was to obtain the information of yield potential and morphological characteristics of promising sweetpotato clones with rich in anthocyanin and high dry matter content. The research was carried out in Magetan district, East Java province at dry season II in 2019. The 13 promising sweetpotato clones of purple fleshed along with two check varieties were arranged in randomized block design (RBD) with three-replications. A few promising clones of sweetpotato selected had been high yield potential, rich in anthocyanin and high dry matter content from adaptation trial. The results showed that five clones (MSU 10001 32, MSU 10003-06, MSU 10003-07, MSU 10010-43 and MSU 10018-40) had higher yield potential (> 30 t / ha) and high dry matter (> 30%) compared to check varieties (Antin 2 and Antin 3). These five clones have good quality, uniformity of shape and size with dark purple which rich in anthocyanin. These clones are prospective to be proposed as new purple fleshed variety with high dry matter content.
