One of the main aspects to take into account in sweet potatoes is to have genotypes with adequate characteristics of performance, adaptability, nutritional value, as well as other characteristics that meet the expectations of producers such as precocity, vegetative vigor and tolerance to pests and diseases. Due to this, the evaluation and comparison between improved genotypes is an effective way to obtain quantitative results of the advance or backward movement over time in the improvement of the desired characteristics of the new materials. The objective of this work was to evaluate four sweet potato clones that are planted in the municipality of Campechuela in order to give producers the options to choose from on their farms. The experiment was carried out in areas of El Littoral of the Basic Agricultural Business Unit of Campechuela, Granma, Cuba during the months of December 2018 to March 2019, in a typical reddish brown fersialitic soil. A completely randomized design with random block arrangement and four repetitions per genotype was used. Four improved sweet potato genotypes from the INIVIT Improvement Program were evaluated
