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...

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...

one of the major problems in reproduction of potato minitubers, is the low germination due to dormancy period that it’s led to low germination percentage, vigor and rot of tubers planted. therefore a factorial experiment based on the completely randomized design with three replications was carried out with a topic of the effects of application of rindite in various concentrations (0, 0.2, 0.4 a...

in this study, the effect of application time (immediately and one week after harvest) of some chemicals (rindite, carbon disulphide, gibberellic acid and thiourea) on breaking of dormancy and sprouting of potato (solanum tuberosum l., cv., marfona) minitubers was investigated. for the carbon disulphide (25 ml m-3 for four days) and rindite (0.2 ml l-1 for two days) application, minitubers were...

effects of different paclobutrazol concentrations (0, 250, 350 and 450 mgl-1) and plantlet density (80, 100 and 120 plantlet/m2) on minituber production per plantlet in potato cultivar ‘sante’ were investigated in a factorial experiment based upon a randomized complete block design of 4 replications. paclobutrazol (cultar with 250 g/l of active ingredient) was used as foliar application at earl...

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 ...
