The effect of tuber planting date on yield of potato cultivars was examined during three seasons. Planting date had a significant effect on yield, although cultivars showed significant variation in yield potential at the different dates. Varietal yield was significantly correlated with planting date and thus was probab …
Potato is new as a major crop in arid regions. Due to its food value, expanding production and increasing consumer demand, it is being considered as a strategic crop. Production is based on yearly import of seed potatoes from Europe. Productivity of potato could be increased by targeted selection of varieties for local …
The effects of environmental treatments known to rapidly shorten seed viability were compared along with cultivar response to the aging process. Seed germinability, coleoptile expansion, electrolyte leakage, and free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation were measured. Aging treatments produced a rapid and significant re …
