Abstract: In order to select the purple sweet potato[Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam)] varieties suitable for planting in Wuling mountain area,a randomized block test design was adopted,and Ezishu No.1 was used as the control. Five introduced varieties,such as Shengzishu,Nanzishu 008, Mianzishu No.9,Nanzishu 014 and Nanzishu 015,were compared and analyzed in terms of agronomic characteristics, fresh potato yield and selenium content. The results showed that under the climate conditions of Wuling mountain area,the rate of large and medium-sized potatoes was 87.27%~96.15%,the yield of fresh potatoes was 39 151.20~51 586.80 kg/hm2,which was significantly different from the control,and the content of selenium was 0.29~0.54 mg/kg, all of which reached the standard of rich selenium. It was preliminarily determined that it was suitable for planting in this area.

Key words: purple sweet potato[Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam)], introduction, suitability
