to shorten the dormancy period of potato minitubers and to increase a tuber's capacity to be planted sooner after being harvested, an experiment was conducted at pishtaz tissue culture company in karaj, using factorial experiment on the basis of a completely randomized design with three replications. the first factor was comprised of cultivars (agria, marfona and burren), the second minitu...

background and objectives: potato (solanum tuberosum l.) plant is one of leading agricultural products in the world. it is the fourth most cultivated food crop after wheat, rice and maize. planting density and weight of minituber are the factors influencing on the yield and yield components on seed tuber production in potato. plant density strongly affected yield, both by number and by weight a...

in order to study of nutritional role of silicon nano-particles on physiological characteristics of minituber potato production an experiment was carried out as  factorial based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications in hydroponic culture at ferdowsi university, mashhad. treatments were included particle size of sodium silicate (nano and micro) and concentrations in levels...

two different propagation procedures including aeroponics and soil systems were compared for the minitubers production in potato. the minitubers were evaluated for several quality characters. the plant materials were from three cultivars, agria, marfona and savalan. the plantlets were grown in aeroponics and soil production systems at a plant density of 100 plants per m-2 and stem length, root ...

Aeroponics is a modern and soilless technology that used for the efficient production of pre-basic seed potatoes, namely minitubers. This study aimed to evaluate effects cultivar type planting material on minitubers in aeroponic facility Guča, Serbia, at short, 7-day harvest intervals. Although cultivation prolonged vegetative cycle all five investigated cultivars, dynamics minituber formation ...

abstract dormancy in potato minituber buds is one of the limiting factors on planting them after harvesting. this study was undertaken in a completely randomized nested with arrengment three replications to examine the effective hormonal and temperature treatments on rapid breaking of minitubers dormancy at 2008. treatments included gibberellic acid (2 and 5 mg/l), benzyl adenine (5 and 10 mg/l...

The aim of the research was to determine field, greenhouse and seed bed performance of plantlets derived from in vitro propagated plantlets of three potato cultivars. Generally, higher values were obtained from the mid-early maturing cultivar Marabel, compare to other cultivars (early cultivar Velox and and mid-early cultivar Concorde) for tuber yield, tuber number and average tuber weight. For...
