Regulation of the germination energy of potatoes by with low energy treatments
Abstract Getting the future harvest begins at the stage of sprouting. Germination, periods between phenophases, and development of stolons depend on their formation. There are two main types of potato sprouts - light and shadow. The former are preferable for mechanized planting, the latter provide better conditions for potato growth. The
