Eight promising varieties of sweet potato recommended by Northern Philippines Root Crops Training Center (NPRCTC), La Trinidad Benguet were evaluated during the wet and dry season planting to determine location specific varieties suited for each season. The specific objective of the study was to evaluate the agronomic characteristics and to determine the most adaptable varieties with high yield potential and resistant to pests. Results revealed that sweet potato varieties Bengueta, Inubi, Tocano and PSBSp22 are recommended for both wet and dry season planting. Super Beaurelli variety is highly recommended for wet season planting. Varieties NSIC 30 and Japanese Ubi are recommended for dry season planting for higher yield and resistant to weevil infestation respectively.
