“…The plants damaged at the end of the cycle did not regrow, but most of the tuber bulking had already taken place, and so yield losses were low. Wille and Kleinkopf (1992), pointed out that, as the crop reached maturity, the main effect of hail damage was to interrupt the flow of carbohydrates and nutrients from the haulm to the tubers. The total amount of carbohydrates available for translocation into the tubers would depend on the degree of stem damage received by the potato plant.…”

“…Previous research has shown that simulated hail damage reduces potato yield and the reduction is related to the intensity of the damage and to the stage of plant growth when the damage occurred (Burger 1991(Burger , 1993Feibert and Saunders 1993;Kalyagin 1985;Orr et al 1991;Wille and Kleinkopf 1992;Workman and Twomey 1981). Feibert et al (1993) studied the influence of simulated hail timing on the yield and quality of three potato cultivars.…”

“…The plants did not regrow as vigorously and, therefore, were probably not able to resume tuber bulking. Wille and Kleinkopf (1992) observed that Russet Burbank potatoes were more sensitive to defoliation during early tuberization and the early stage of tuber enlargement. At this time, the marketable yield of 100% defoliated plants decreased to 50%.…”

Effect of Defoliation by Simulated Hail Damage on Yield of Potato Cultivars with Different Maturity Performed in Spain

Worldwide, potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) crops cover 18×10 6 ha, corresponding to a production of 314× 10 6 t. The importance of this crop makes it crucial to control production losses and quality defects due to foliar injury, whether by natural or mechanical causes. The artificial defoliation of potatoes is a common technique used to investigate the correlation between damage caused by either hail or insects and yield. The aim of this study was to evaluate simulated hail damage on different cultivar potatoes of varying maturity to quantify the commercial yield reduction attributable to different defoliation levels through the potato crop cycle. Eight trials were carried out in the Central Ebro Valley (northern Spain) over a period of 4 years with three potato cultivars: Jaerla, Red-Pontiac, and Baraka. Four levels of defoliation (no defoliation, slight defoliation, medium defoliation, and high defoliation) were carried out in several phenological stages. The crop yield losses for each level of defoliation were calculated by correlating the percentage of defoliation applied and the resulting percentage of yield loss. Yield reduction equations were calculated for each trial and phenological stage. Damaged produced during tuber formation or flowering considerably reduced yield. In contrast, defoliations after tubers had completed growth barely affected yields. Differences among cultivars with respect to yield losses were noted regardless of location and year. The early cultivar (Jaerla) recovered worse than the longer-cycle varieties (Red Pontiac and Baraka) as concerns defoliation effects. Effects on yield were similar at the different locations. The regression equations presented may be used for modeling the yield reduction due to defoliation treatments caused by different biotic and abiotic agents.Resumen En todo el mundo, los cultivos de papa (Solanum tuberosum L.) cubren 18×10 6 ha, lo que corresponde a una producción de 314×10 6 t. La importancia de este cultivo hace crucial el control de las pérdidas de producción y de los defectos en calidad debido al daño foliar, ya fuera por causas naturales o mecánicas. La defoliación artificial de papa es una técnica común usada para investigar la correlación entre el daño causado por granizo o insectos y rendimiento. El propósito de este estudio fue evaluar el daño simulado por granizo en diferentes variedades de papa de diversa madurez, para cuantificar la reducción comercial en rendimiento atribuible a diferentes niveles de defoliación a lo largo del ciclo de cultivo de la papa. Se hicieron ocho ensayos en el valle central del Ebro (al norte de España) en un período de cuatro años con tres variedades de papa: Jaerla, Red-Pontiac, y Baraka. Se efectuaron cuatro niveles de defoliación (sin defoliación, ligera, media, y alta defoliación) en varios estados fenológicos. Se calcularon las pérdidas en el rendimiento del cultivo para cada nivel de defoliación, mediante la correlación del porcentaje de defoliación aplicado y el porcentaje resultante de pérdida en el rendimien...

BACKGROUND:Recently, weather disasters such as hail and typhoon occur frequently. These threaten the stable cultivation of potatoes. It is very important to cultivate potatoes with stable under unexpected weather disasters. This study was performed to investigate the correlation between mophological characteristics of potato stem and its resistance to hail damage in different potato cultivars. METHODS AND RESULTS:Hail fall occurred for 8 minutes on May 31, 2012 in the field of Highland Agriculture Research Center located in Jinbu-myeon Gangwon-do. Potato crop grown in the field was affected by hail due to which the stems of potato were broken. The percentage of broken stem of potato was investigated as the level of damage by hail. To determine the difference in the

“…Simulated hail damage treatments have been used to develop algorithms to predict the effects of hail damage on crop yield loss with other crops such as corn (Zea mays L.; , cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.; Smith and Varvil, 1981), rice (Oryza stiva L.; Counce et al, 1994aCounce et al, , 1994b, potato (Solatium tuberosum L.; Wille and Kleinkopf, 1992), grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.; Peck and Weibel, 1975), and sunflower (Helianthus annum L.; Schneiter et al, 1987). This research has focused on applying various mechanical defoliation treatments such as leaf removal, stand reduction and stem breakage at various crop growth stages as a means of simulating hail damage.…”
