Abstract To identify if and how the age of in vitro potato plantlets at planting affects later tuber formation, an extensive pot experiment was performed under controlled conditions. In vitro-derived different ages (14, 28, 42 56 days old planting) cultivars varying maturity type (Gloria, very early; Bintje, mid-early; Elkana, late) were grown after for 10 weeks photo/thermoperiods 16 h (standa...

Recent studies, including those from our laboratory, have provided evidence that by improving tuber Ca level we can reduce tuber internal defects and improve its storability. The purpose of the present study was to determine the influence of supplemental Ca fertilization on tuber size and tuber number. For this purpose, plantlets of Solanum tuberosum cv Russet Burbank raised in tissue culture w...

The authors carried out a scientific study from 1990 to 2022 on 20 varieties of potatoes the pathogenesis Rhizoctonia in crop production conditions and substantiate methods system protection against disease. fungus R. Solani persists annually soil seed tubers form mycelium sclerotia. It was found that more than 60% grounds potato agroecosystems have content causative agent is many times higher ...
