Analysis of the morphological features of potato tubers after the application of biostimulants and herbicide
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: A b s t r a c t.The test results were based on a field experiment conducted in 2018-2020 at the Zawady Experimental Farm, owned by the University of Siedlce in Poland.Two factors were tested in the experiment: I -two edible potato cultivars -Oberon and Malaga, II -five variants: application of biostimulants: PlonoStart, Aminoplant, and Agro-Sorb Folium with herbicide Avatar 293 ZC, application of only herbicide Avatar 293 ZC, and a control object without the biostimulants and herbicide.Just before harvest, tubers from ten plants were dug from each plant to assess the yield structure.The following morphological features were determined in edible tubers with a diameter above 35 mm: tuber shape, regularity of tuber shape, skin appearance, depth of eyes, and tuber size.The cultivar, variants of application of the biostimulants and herbicide, and weather conditions in the years of research significantly determined the external characteristics of the tubers.The PlonoStart, Aminoplant, and Agro-Sorb Folium biostimulants had a positive effect on the determined morphological features, compared to tubers from the control object.K e y w o r d s: Solanum tuberosum L., cultivars, growth regulators, tuber morphology
