Abstract
Abstract Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) has potential for multifunctional landscapes combining ornamental and food-production purposes. This study characterized 15 genotypes based on morphological, productive, biochemical, and nutritional traits. Genotypes were evaluated for root and leaf morphology, as well as other attributes. Landscape potential was assessed using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and TOPSIS. TOPSIS closeness coefficients ranged from 0.18 to 0.85, revealing substantial variation in landscape performance. Genotypes 2, 5, and 7 showed balanced ornamental, productive, and nutritional performance, indicating multifunctional potential. Genotype 9 exhibited high potential for food and biofortified applications. Genotypes 11 and 13 exhibited high landscape potential, vegetative vigor, and bioactive compound accumulation in leaves but did not produce tuberous roots, revealing a trade-off between ornamental/foliar performance and root production. Integrating these complementary traits through multicriteria analysis enables the identification of genotypes for specific landscape functions and supports the development of multifunctional landscapes combining aesthetic and food-production purposes.
