aeroponic is a new technology for potato minituber production. in order to recognition of the suitable nutrient solution and potato variety for minituber production in aeroponics in comparison with classic hydroponics, a factorial experiment was carried out with three factors of culture systems (aeroponics and hydroponics), nutrient solutions (chang et al., 2008; apcoab and commercial nutrient ...

Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is a valuable food security crop in West Africa, where 92% of the world production occurs. The availability quality seed tubers for increased productivity major challenge. In this study, minitubers weighing 1, 3, and 5 g produced from virus-free single-node vine cuttings two improved yam varieties (Asiedu Kpamyo) growing an aeroponics system were assessed suitability at pop...

The aeroponic production of certified seed potatoes is a booming alternative for arid and semi-arid areas where fresh water scarce soil-borne diseases nematodes preclude field production. Although widely used in aeroponics, nutrient-solution salinity effects have not been evaluated potatoes. This study aimed to (1) establish the best two nutrient solutions (Otazú vs. modified Furlani) at 20, 50...

In this research, the acclimatized in vitro plants were transferred to the aeroponic system and the effects of paclobutrazol (PBZ) and jasmonic acid (JA) were investigated on the production of potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cvs Agria and Svalan) minitubers. Some plant characteristics were also investigated in this cultivation system, under greenhouse conditions. Plants were foliar sprayed with PB...

Micropropagation and minituber production technology may enable the establishment of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) seed tuber certification programs in arid and semiarid regions of the world and reduce dependency on expensive seed tuber imports. Therefore, we investigated possible carry-over effects of moderate salt stress on the following production cycle. The yields of seed tuberand microtube...
