Abstract: | Summary A crop rotation experiment was carried out on a light sandy soil in 1979–1986 to study the effects of the frequency of potato
cropping on yield, quality and on the occurrence of soil-borne pathogens other than potato cyst nematodes.
Tuber yield decreased markedly with increasing cropping frequency, but also depended on what crops were grown in rotation
with potato. Growth during the early part of the season, as well as the length of the growing period, were reduced in short
rotations. The fungiVerticillium dahliae andRhizoctonia solani, and root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) were the most important yield reducing pathogens. The effects of rotation depended on the cultivar used.
The percentage of mis-shapen tubers increased with increasing cropping frequency and after application of granular nematicides,
but the incidence of common scab (Streptomyces scabies) was not affected. |
