The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of Brazilian potato cultivars, BRS Ana and BRS Clara, compared with the imported cultivars Ágata and Asterix, for tuber yield characters. The experiments were carried out in Canoinhas, State of Santa Catarina.Four potato cultivars were evaluated: BRS Ana, BRS Clara, Asterix and Ágata. The experimental design was randomized blocks with four replicates. Plots consisted of four rows with 20 plants in each row. The tubers of each plot were harvested and evaluated for traits related to tuber yield 110 days after planting. Data were submitted to analysis of variance and grouping of means by Skott & Knott at 5% of probability.Brazilian potato cultivars BRS Ana and BRS Clara provided higher yields than the imported Asterix and Ágata. On the other hand, they are later regarding the vegetative cycle.
