A recurrent selection scheme was designed and implemented at the International Potato Center (CIP) to increase the concentrations of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) in diploids potato tubers from Solanum tuberosum groups: stenotomum, goniocalyx and phureja. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the genetic gain (GG) in Fe and Zn micronutrient content, by determining the broad-sense heritability and relationships to important agronomic variables. The trial was installed in Paucartambo, Junin, Peru using 60 genotypes in 3 recurrent selection cycles (17= cycle 0, 21 = cycle II, 22 = cycle III), in a Randomized Complete Block Design, with four replicates. Fe and Zn determinations were conducted in CIP-La Molina, Lima, using the X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF) method. Genetic gain (GG) results for Fe content varied from 15.11 to 33.73 % (cycle 0 to cycle III, respectively), with broad-sense high heritability (H2 = 0.93 and 0.95) ; GG for Zn varied between 11.06 and 26.6 %, with H2 = 0.81 and 0.89. Both micronutrients showed high positive correlation (r = 0.41 to 0.68, p < 0.01) when analyzed on a dry-weight basis. However, correlations with dry matter content were negative (-0.01 to -0.36, p > 0.05). Broad-sense heritability estimates for tuber yield varied between 0.63 and 0.85, showing positive correlations for tuber number per plant and for average tuber weight (r = 0.34 to 0.50). Genotypes from each cycle, with high Fe and Zn contents, showed yields varying between 9.4 and 28.3 t ha-1. In cycle III, Fe content varied between 27 and 39 mg kg-1 and for Zn varied between 17.68 and 28.96 mg kg-1 in dry-weight basis, with 18 t ha-1 tuber yield. In conclusion, the results showed an important progress in potato breeding of Fe and Zn content through recurrent selection of diploid potatoes.
