    This research was carried out in the Hupante sector of the community El Galpón, Canton Salcedo, San Miguel Parish, in the province of Cotopaxi with a geographical position of: 1º 05` South Latitude and 78º 28` West Latitude, at an altitude of 3220 meters above sea level. The best storage technique for the physiological development of potato tuber-seed in the two native varieties (yellow Chaucha and black Leona) was demonstrated, the sprouting time of seed ready to be deposited in the soil was evaluated and finally the costs per treatment of the storage techniques were detailed. The experimental research was based on a randomized complete block design (RCBD), with six treatments and three replications, with a factorial arrangement (AxB) for factor (A) storage techniques (Yatas, Putzas and sparse bags) and factor (B) potato varieties (yellow Chaucha and black Leona). A 5% Tukey statistical test was used to identify the treatments with rebound. The following indicators were evaluated (days to sprouting, number of sprouts per tuber, sprout length, sprout diameter, pest incidence and costs of storage techniques). The best storage technique for tuber-seed is sparse bags showing positive results by providing adequate ventilation and exposure to diffuse light, obtaining a greater number of sprouts, which will favor vigorous sprout development and reduce pest incidence. This is reflected in the results obtained for both potato varieties, indicating that this technique is versatile and effective for different types of potatoes.
