“…Unlike several studies stating that water and/or soil salinity retards plant growth and significantly reduces potato tuber yield (Maas and Hoffman, 1977;Levy, 1992;Levy and Veilleux, 2007); in our investigation the best potato yield parameters were all recorded in HSS site despite its high salinity levels in soil and irrigation water. However these findings are in harmony with those of study investigated potato salinity tolerance (Hannachi et al, 2004), where it was exposed that potato plants adapted to high soil salinity and saline irrigation water (NaCl = 4 g/L) can have almost similar agronomic performance (number of tubers and yield per plant) or even above of those obtained from plants not subjected to salt stress and irrigated with unsalted water.…”

“…Moreover, it is clear from out results that SS and LSS plots give low potato yields even treated with high amounts of PM, as it was reported in hot arid desert of the Middle East (Levy, 1992;Levy and Veilleux, 2007), but tuber yields increase in HSS along with the increase of PM rates.…”

“…Therefore, it is important to maintain high potato production yield and mitigating the negative effect of salt stress, specifically in arid regions where the scarcity of freshwaters makes the use of salt water for crop production often unavoidable. The harmful effects of salinity on potato plant may be related to the negative effect of some specific ions such as Na + and Cl − that inhibit the production of pigments in leaves; and the influence of high sodium concentration that induce calcium and magnesium nutritional deficiencies (Levy and Veilleux, 2007).…”

In hot arid lands, soil salinity, irrigation with brackish waters and the massive use of mineral fertilizers are major constraints for the development of potato cropping. The current field experiment was conducted in the Sahara Desert of Algeria in order to highlight the effect of organic fertilization on the improvement of potato production and the increase of plant salt-stress tolerance. The variation of yield production parameters and nutritional status of plants were evaluated through a split-plot design including six increasing rates of poultry manure (PM) (0, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 mt/ha) tested in three experimental sites with increasing salinity levels: low saline soil (electrical conductivity 'EC' = 0.9 dS/m), saline soil (EC = 2.2 dS/m) and high saline soil (EC = 5.9 dS/m). The results revealed a significant and proportional increasing of all studied yield parameters (number, seize and yields of tubers) with the increase of PM rates compared to the control. The effect of the interaction (PM × salinity level) showed that the highest yield (44.55 mt/ha) was recorded in plots treated with 60 mt/ha of PM in high saline soils. The assessment of nutritional status at flowering stage of potato plants demonstrated that concentrations of K+ and N increased while Na+ concentrations decreased, in both leaves and roots, as PM rates increasing, principally beneath high salinity level. Our findings suggest the dose of 60 mt/ha of PM is an optimal amount producing the best tuber yields under saline conditions in arid soils.

“…This certainly causes losses for producers in these regions, who are forced to open new lands for cultivation. We therefore consider that these results are important for advisors and producers of potato in Mexico, to conduct monitoring of soil and water salinity and detect EC greater than 3 dS m -1 in soil solution and before potato planting, should proceed to implement saline control techniques such as: a) the use of irrigation water with low salt concentration, b) the establishment of artificial drainage, c) application of hydrochemical methods like salt lixiviation and chemical enhancers, and d) grow potato varieties of some tolerance to salinity as proposed by Levy and Veilleux (2007) and Mudgal et al (2010). From these results we conclude that: (1) High levels of salinity reduce the partitioning of assimilates to the tubers.…”

The objective of this experiment was to analyze the growth of Solanum tuberosum cv. Tollocan under sulphate-hydrochloric, hydrochloric-sulphate and sulphate-sodium soil salinities at various concentrations, as occurs in soils where potatoes are grown in Mexico (Toluca Valley, highlands of Nuevo León and foothills of the Laguna del Carmen in Tlaxcala) with damages to the crop yield by salt stress. For this purpose a greenhouse experiment was conducted with randomized complete block design composed by three treatments and three repetitions. This consisted of planting tubers and growing plants in pots with perlite, and subjecting them to irrigation with saline solutions prepared in the laboratory at electrical conductivities from 0 to 15.0 dS m -1 , whose ionic relations of ≈1.5, 0.6, 2.0 allowed simulating those induced by salinities in field. The physiological behavior of plants in the vegetative stage of tuberization and tuber filling was evaluated using as variables the number of leaves, leaf area index, net photosynthesis, shoot length, root length and number and diameter of tubers per plant. Likewise its biomass accumulation and tolerance to each salinity was determined. Results indicate a severe reduction in growth, presence of secondary tubers and formation of small potato tubers in plants subjected to sulphate-hydrochloric and hydrochloric sulphate salinities from an electrical conductivity > 6.0 dS m -1 , so that cv. Tollocan is considered sensitive to these conditions. The reduction was more drastic and significant with P= 0.05 in sulphate-sodium salinity, since 3.88 dS m -1 of electrical conductivity, dwarf plants grew without forming tubers and thus, are considered hypersensitive to this salinity.

“…The marketability of fresh or processing potatoes is dependent on the production of tubers with consistently high quality, measured as tuber shape, external appearance, specific gravity, the lack of internal and external defects, disease, or pest damage (Hiller and Thornton 1993). Breeding requires the assessment of genetic diversity for adaptation and quality traits, and the selection and recombining of genetic resources into new varieties (Levy and Veilleux 2007). Methodologies yielding reliable information on crop performance in short timeframes can significantly enhance selection processes and speed up breeding efforts to meet changing production needs (Anderson and Howard 1981;Brown et al 1987;Gopal et al 1994).…”

An efficient in vitro system for early generation selection of heat-tolerant potato breeding materials was tested and validated in field conditions. At the family level, family groups expected to be heat tolerant due to their genetic background were identified as heat tolerant. In the in vitro assay, LTVR 9 LTVR, an advanced heat-tolerant breeding population developed at CIP, had 100 % of plants with tubers at 18°C, 73 % at 25°C and 2 % at 32°C in the dark. The results from true seed family level in vitro screening at 25°C and tuber family evaluation under field conditions in Tacna, an arid sub-tropical environment in Southern Peru, were positively correlated (r = 0.57). There was low to moderate correlation between percentage of plants with tubers under 27°C in vitro temperature treatment and harvest index in the in vivo conditions in Majes-Arequipa, San Ramon, and La Molina that followed increasing temperature ranges between the sites. This indicates that the methodology can predict putative heat tolerant clones with a low level of confidence. Low correlation is possibly due to differential responses of the clones to characteristics of the growing environment, such as soil versus media, which were not represented in the in vitro assay, as well as the fact that in the field, day-night temperatures vary during tuberization and tuber filling, and throughout the season, while in vitro temperature and the dark period were kept constant, and conditions were controlled specifically to assess tuberization (tuber induction) at high night temperatures. The ability of the in vitro seedling screening assay to identify families tolerant to high temperatures in an inexpensive and less time consuming way without need of transplanting experimental material to the field will facilitate evaluation of significant samples of genetic resources and improved populations in breeding programs attempting to improve potato for adaptation to new environments and climate change.
