Possibility of increasing early crop potato yield with foliar application of silicon
This paper analyses the effect of dosage (0.25 dm3 ha–1 or 0.50 dm3 ha–1) and time (the leaf development stage – BBCH 14–16, tuber initiation stage – BBCH 40–41, at both the leaf development stage and tuber initiation stage) of silicon-based stimulant ...

Effect of Tytanit® on the yield and yield components of very early-maturing potato cultivars [PDF]
The growing period for early potatoes is extremely short, only 50-80 days from planting to harvest. To obtain a high marketable tuber yield in such a short period good conditions for plant growth must be ensured.

Combining ability of potato parents for tuber appearance and tuber yield component traits [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to estimate the combining ability between two groups of potato parents in early generations of selection. Twelve potato families, derived from two groups of parents crossed in a 4x3 partial diallel design, were evaluated, in

Anthocyanin Accumulation during Potato Tuber Development [PDF]
The color of red potato tubers is due to an accumulation of anthocyanins in periderm and peripheral cortex tissues. The objective of this study was to characterize changes in anthocyanin content and tuber surface color during tuber development. Using the red tuber-producing potato ( Solanum tuberosum
