the phenotypic diversity of potato, solanum tuberosum was assessed using morphological traits. to verify, how this diversity is distributed among the main potato varieties in the growing areas in iran. a total of eleven potato varieties, ramose, sante, shepody, marfona, maradona, milova, santana, boren, cosima, granola and agria, were evaluated under vivo and situ experimental conditions in isf...

Potato crops are susceptible to numerous field diseases causing significant losses in the quality and tuber yield. Control measures have a negative impact soil water resources affecting also farmers’ health food security. Hence, more sustainable agriculture management is need preserve ecosystems. Therefore, objective of this study was evaluate response nine potato cultivars (Fleur Bleue, Frisia...

due to the importance of production and propagation of virus-free potato plants, some of the factors involved in the propagation of potato (plantlet production and virus-free in vitro microtuberization) has been studied. in most reports, adding a mixture of amino acids play an important role in plant tissue culture and development of the explants in many cases increase. this experiment was cond...

given the importance of potato in the economy and people’s nutrition, as well as planting of disease-free seeds, it seems necessary to produce healthy seeds through tissue culture. this study was conducted during 2012-2013 at the research center of agricultural university of tajikistan aiming to evaluate the effect of different sizes of mini-tuber on yield and yield components of potato crop. a...

abstract myzus persicae sulzer is one of the serious pests in potato fields which has the ability of transmitting several viruses to the potato crop. throughout summer of 2008, field studies were carried out in ardabil to evaluate the seasonal population fluctuation of this aphid on 10 potato cultivars: granola, satina, moren, aozonia, cosima, agria, cosmos, kondor, diamant and savalan. density...

to study drought resistance indices of eight potato cultivars and to determine the most tolerant variety, two experiments were conducted in the form of complete randomized block design with three replications (stress and non-stress conditions) in 2002. seven indices, ssi, tol, sti, msti, gmp, tol , and mp were used to determine tolerant varieties. it was found that mp, sti, gmp, and msti were a...

Using modern irrigation methods such as border irrigation is one way for an optimum usage of water. Potato, for this study, was cultured in a farm located at Kermanshah faculty of agriculture to evaluate the efficiency of border irrigation. The culture potato was the Agria variety and the applied treatment were 50, 75, and 100 percent of potato plant`s water requirement. Tapes were 12 m and the...

Horticultural products are prone to high postharvest losses due their perishability and susceptibility drivers for food decay, including temperature. A narrow temperature window must typically be maintained prevent accelerated decay and, at the same time, thermal damage, such as chilling injury. Food simulators or so-called biophysical help monitor anomalies in cold chain, optimize refrigerated...
