Abstract
Three methods of bulk extraction of potato pollen were compared for th eir efficiency and for the potency of extracted pollen in affecting be rry set, seeds/berry and 100 seed weight. Extracting pollen from pre-d ried anthers using a sieve of nylon netting with 1 mm perforations was the most economical with respect to time, labour and cost of equipmen t and that would be applicable for commercial production of hybrid TPS .
