Calcium particle film improves sweet potato growth and partitioning

ABSTRACT High temperatures may affect the development and yield of sweet potato crop. Technologies such as particle films can mitigate their effects. This study aimed to evaluate effect calcium oxide (CaO) film on remobilization accumulation photoassimilates, well its impact crop yield. The experimental design was randomized blocks, with four replicates per treatment: control, 5, 10 15 % CaO. In general, there an increase for root volume; average weight root; dry fresh roots, branches leaves; growth rates at highest number marketable roots were observed use CaO caused in photoassimilates and, consequently,
