Abstract: | Summary From 1985 to 1987 field experiments were caried out to test the influence of different pre-planting storage treatments on
yield and size distribution of potato crops. The storage treatments included 4, 8 and 12°C in the light and in the dark, for
different periods before planting. Subjecting the seed tubers to light at low temperatures induced crops to produce a larger
proportion of smaller sized tubers while storing seed tubers at higher temperatures in the dark led to an increase of tubers
>55 mm. These observations were confirmed in five field experiments with two cultivars at two sites and in three growing seasons. |
