Abstract: An experiment on genetic diversity studies in potato (Solanum tuberosum l.) genotypes was conducted during kharif 2018-19 under AICRP (Potato) MARS, UAS, Dharwad. Analysis of variance indicates the existence of large variability among the genotypes. Thirty genotypes were grouped into eight distinct clusters depending upon their similarities in D2 values. Cluster I includes the maximum number of genotypes (18), Cluster II had six genotypes and while, remaining six clusters (III, IV, V, VI, VII and VIII) had single genotype in each cluster (monogenic groups). The maximum intra cluster distance was recorded in Cluster II (95.89) and maximum inter cluster D2 was reported between cluster VI had VII (510.78). The higher inter cluster distance was recorded between the cluster VI and cluster VII. The genotypes from these clusters P-41 (cluster VI) and C-18 (cluster VII), are suggested to include in hybridization programme for getting advantageous and superior combinations.
