Potato Aeroponics: Effects of Cultivar and Plant Origin on Minituber Production

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 varied between genotypes. Two early maturing Cleopatra Sinora, quickly completed formed small number minitubers, while medium-late late Kennebec Agria, steadily tuberized during entire period facility. The affected three cultivars. Cleopatra, Désirée’s plants vitro origin reached final vines started senescing much earlier than origin. Agria produced largest (53.8–54.5) showed highest yield (9.8–10.5 kg m−2) period, heaviest were by Sinora (15.48 g). In addition, temperature pre-harvest periods significantly tubers harvests mass Désirée.
