Effect of Sprouting Seed Potatoes and Time of planting on Tuber Development and Yield of Potatoes.

Abstract

Field experiments carried out for three years at the Division of Agronomy, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi have indicated that potato seed sprouted for four weeks showed faster plant emergence at each dato of planting compared with that sprouted for seven wasks which lost vigour due to shrinkage as a result of longer period of sprouting under high temperature condition, While sprouting for seven, weeks showed marked reduction in the yield of potatoes, four weeks sprouting was comparing well with one week sprouting at all stages of growth and development of potato tubors.
