        Abstract

        The present research aimed to evaluate the multiplication of seed potatoes from basic seeds at grower farm to increase yield in commercial potato crops. The potato cultivars Epagri 361-Catucha, Baronesa, Elvira, Monalisa and Macaca were cultivated in participatory research, during the growing seasons of 1999, 2000 and 2001 in southern
        coast of Santa Catarina State, Brazil. It was evaluated the occurrence of viral diseases, multiplication tuber index, yield and size of seed potatoes. It was also evaluated the quality and yield of the tubers for fresh consumption. The results showed the viability of multiplication of seed potatoes by growers to use them in commercial crops. It is possible to increase the average productivity of the commercial potato crops in the region using this simple technique.
        The incidence of viral diseases was different among cultivars particularly for the Y virus.
