Sweet potato is regarded as one of the most important food crops mostly grown in sub -Saharan Africa, Pacific islands and parts of Asia. It is mostly grown for human consumptions. It has been domesticated for more than 5000 years in the Latin America and further more cultivated in the developing countries. This research experiment was conducted in the Horticulture research field, at Department of Horticulture under Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Science, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. Five different cultivars of Sweet potato were evaluated by replicating thrice in Randomized block design method during rabi season 2023. Among the growth parameters and yield parameters the character that were observed are like Vines length (cm), Number of leaves per plant, Numbers of vines per plant, Inter-nodal length (cm), Numbers of tubers per plant, Tuber length (cm), Tuber diameter (cm), Tuber weight (g), Tuber yield per plant (kg).Tuber yield (q ha-1). Among the cultivars Samrat has been seen with highest number tubers (4.43), highest tuber length (23.8 cm), high tuber diameter (5.1 cm) and other observable characters among the test parameters. This variety has been recommended to the farmers for having good results in the prayagraj environmental conditions.
