| Abstract: | The use of dormancy breaking agents on basic nuclear stock tubers can improve production system efficiency, reduce turnaround time and eliminate storage costs. Single and double treatments of bromoethane, and bromoethane with ethanol were given to dormant seed tubers of the three cultivars Kennebec, Katahdin, and Russet Burbank. Two consecutive bromoethane treatments for 24 hours each gave the best overall response although strong interactions were observed between cultivars and treatments. |
