Potato is a strategic crop in Tunisia but is susceptible to many pests and diseases. Nematodes of the genera Meloidogyne and Globodera are important pests that cause yield losses and depreciation of tuber quality. A trial was carried out in a plot where the soil was naturally infested with M. javanica and G. pallida. Three soil treatments were tested and compared. Soil solarization (SS) and inc...

Irrigation scheduling is important in irrigation water management. In this study, full (FI),deficit (DI) and partial root drying (PRD) irrigation strategies were applied in Agria and Ramospotato cultivars. Canopy temperature (CT) and leaf water potential (LWP) were assessed as thepotential tools for irrigation scheduling during the vegetative and productive growth stages.LWP varied between ca. ...

Rapid expansion of the processing potato industry has contributed to a significant increase in irrigated potato production in Manitoba. However, information is lacking regarding optimum rotations for local conditions. In 1998, a crop rotation study was initiated on a Wellwood silt loam near Carberry to identify crop rotations that optimized crop yield and quality while maintaining soil quality....

RESUMEN The present study was carried out in a Typic Hapludand soil in the municipality of ‘El Rosal’ (Colombia) and aimed to compare the yield performance of the cultivar Criolla Colombia under foliar applications of Zn chelate (0, 1, 2 and 3 kg ha) and edaphic applications of granulated Zn sulfated (0, 1, 2 and 3 kg ha). A split-plot, randomized complete block design, with four repetitions pe...

in order to find the most effective concentration of 6-banzilamino purine (bap) and cycocel (ccc) on microtuber production of two potato cultivars under tissue culture conditions, a factorial experiment was carried out with randomized compelete design with 4 replications. four levels of bap (0, 5, 10 and 15 mg l-1) and four levels of ccc (0, 250, 500 and 1000 mg l-1) were applied on two potato ...

Aims: The purpose of this study was to obtain the best interaction between guano doses and mulch on growth yield potato plants.
 Study Design: experimental design used factorial 2 factors in a completely randomized (CRD).
 Place Duration Study: This experiment carried out Alahan Panjang, Lembah Gumanti District, Solok Regency, West Sumatra from March June 2018.
 Methodology: Fact...

Experiments were undertaken with field-grown potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plants to test the hypothesis that altering leaf:tuber water potential gradients within a plant subjected to low soil moisture will allow greater Ca accumulation in tubers and reverse Ca deficiency-related tuber necrosis. Antitranspirant formulations containing a wax emulsion and a spreader/sticker surfactant increased l...

Abstract As part of developing a routine potato cultivars resistance test to Meloidogyne chitwoodi , both the effect nematode density ( P i) and pot size on growth, tuber yield, quality infestation level were studied in glasshouse conditions. The study was carried out four experiments using cv. Desiree as control seven genotypes with single gene M. 1 genotype, Globodera pallida . Plants inocula...
