Growth and heavy-metal uptake of various food crops and grass cultivated on harbour dredge spoils were studied, and health aspects in consuming the marketable products were discussed. Vegetables (potato, carrot, radish, endive, lettuce) and grass (English ryegrass) performed well on dredge spoils, but small grains (wheat, barley) were affected by manganese deficiency. As compared with crops gro...

CHIPS 38 Geographic distribution Early blight is widespread in most areas where potatoes or tomatoes are grown, but is especially prevalent in the tropics and temperate zones. The disease is a potential threat where potatoes are grown under irrigation or during times of heavy dew. Early blight is prevalent in all provinces in South Africa and is a limiting factor in production in late summer. E...

The adoption of agroforestry system aims to combine food production enhancement compensate population growth with the improvement agricultural marketable products increase household income. diversification crop requires more effective land use. In Gunungkidul, high-density teak (Tectona grandis) plantation has dominated many private forests. area under tree crown received low light intensity, w...

The present investigation was carried out at Research farm of Abhilashi University, Chail Chowk, Mandi during Rabi season 2022 to evaluate the effect potassium on growth and yield potato. experiment laid down in randomized block design consisting eight treatments which one is control others are combination with three replications. There significant found under various terms plant height, number...

Analysis of genotype-by-environment interaction (GEI) is critical in the local potato breeding and selection programme to obtain information on performance genotypes for yield adaptability stability. The objective this study was assess marketable tuber 18 advanced clones compared commercial variety Spunta at four locations (Bigara, Réduit, St. Antoine Rivière du Poste), representative major soi...

The aim of the experiment was to determine correlations between tuber yield and components measure direct indirect effects on potato genotypes. conducted using eleven genotypes with one standard check variety (Belete) a local at Kulumsa Agricultural Research Center, Bekoji sub-station during 2020-2021. Data were collected for yield, dry matter content (%), plant height (cm), stem number, specif...

The seed potato cost is very important component in total production and account for 30 to 70% which varies depending on the country or region. Tuber size an factor decide requirement per unit area. Seed affects yield, graded marketable tuber yields. Standard of 25–125 g weight (30–55 mm) known as tubers India. Obtaining achieving higher potential cultivars. profile can be reduced expanded by a...

Effects of nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) fertilization rates on the yield quality two potato cultivars, Asterix Courage were conducted. The treatment combination N2K2 (N2: 140 kg ha−1 K2: 152 ha−1) had highest total (31.38 22.51 t ha-1), marketable tuber (29.08 20.49 ha-1) chips (36.63 36.96%) 18 combinations for cultivar, respectively. also specific gravity (1.07 1.17 gcm-3), dry matter (22.6...
