Conceived and perfected by Dr. Pushkarnath in 1959 at the Central Potato Research Institute (CPRI), Shimla.
Objective: Developed to produce virus-free seed tubers in the sub-tropical Indo-Gangetic plains of Northern India during the autumn/winter window (October to January).
Mechanism: Exploits the low-aphid population period when vector density of Myzus persicae remains below the critical threshold of $20\text{ aphids per } 100\text{ leaves}$, coupled with dehaulming (cutting potato foliage) in late December/early January before aphid swarms arrive.
Correct Option: Option 1 (Virus free seed tubers in plains).
