“…average tuber weight and tuber yieldplant -1 , respectively. The current results are in parallel with those reported by El -Dissoky and Abdel -Kadar ((2013), Chowdhury (2017) , Simango and Walls (2017) and Singh et al (2018) whom reported that potato yield and its components were increased by spraying the plants with Ca and/or boron as compared with the control (unsprayed plants). Regarding tuber cracking phenomenon, it is clear that the assessed Ca and/or B treatments resulted in favorite figures as compared with the control, and Ca + B treatment was superior in this respect.…”

A filed experiment was carried out during the two successive seasons of 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 at the experimental farm of El-Gemmeiza, Agric Res. Station, ARC, Gharbiya Governorate (Middle Nile Delta, Egypt) to study the effect of planting date (20 th September (Sep) and 10 th October (Oct), irrigation water level at 50, 75 and 100 % of filed capacity (FC) and two foliar spray with Ca (1%) as calcium chloride and/or boron (60 ppm) as boric acid besides unsprayed treatment (control), and their interactions on yield and its components, tuber cracking and tuber quality under clayey soil conditions using flood irrigation system. The adopted treatments were arranged in a split -split plot design with three replicates. The planting dates were arranged in the main plots, irrigation water quantities were arranged in the sub plots, while Ca and/or B foliar sprays were randomly distributed in sub -sub plots.The obtained results indicate that, the tertiary interaction of planting on 10 th Oct. , irrigation at 100% FC and sprayed plants with Ca + B resulted in higher values of total tuber yield, average tuber weight , number of tuber № plant -1 , tuber yieldplant -1 ,N, K, Ca and B contents and DM percentages in 1 st and 2 nd seasons. Total carbohydrates were the highest with the interaction of planting on 10 th Oct. and irrigating at 100 %FC and sprayed plants with B. The increases in total tuber yield were about 253.75 and 177.82 % for tertiary interaction of planting on 10 th Oct , irrigation at 100% FC and sprayed with Ca + B over the interaction of planting on 20 th Sep , irrigation with 50%FC and unsprayed plants, in the 1 st and 2 nd 38 FAWZY MANSOUR & HANAN ABU EL-FOTOH seasons, respectively. As for tuber cracking %, the lowest values were obtained with the tertiary interaction of planting on 10 th Oct, irrigation with 75 %FC and sprayed with Ca + B (11.37 and 10.41 %) in the 1 st and 2 nd seasons, respectively, while the highest values were obtained with the tertiary interaction of planting on 20 th Sep, irrigation at 100 %FC and without Ca and B (25.38 and 26.57 % in the 1 st and 2 nd seasons, respectively).Conclusively, under similar conditions it could be concluded that , the tertiary interaction of planting on 10 th Oct , irrigation at 100 % FC and sprayed plants with Ca + B was superior for enhancing both total tuber yield and quality. Furthermore, on reducing tuber cracking, combination of planting on 10 th Oct, irrigation at 75% FC and spraying the plants with Ca + B is recommended.

“…Gumede (2017) found that yield and quality of potatoes will be affected by the Ca application level. In this regard, Chowdhury 2017, Simango and Walls 2017, Tantawy et al 2017and Singh et al 2018 indicated that sprayed potato plants with calcium and/or boron increased tuber yield and improving quality as well.…”

A filed experiment was carried out during the two successive seasons of 2016/2017 to study the effect of planting date (20 th September (Sep.) and 10 th October (Oct.), irrigation water level at 50, 75 and 100 % from the filed capacity (FC) and two foliar spray treatments with calcium chloride (1%) and boron ( 60 ppm) singly or in combinations, beside unsprayed treatment as well as their interactions on growth, plant water relationship and plant chemical composition of potato (Mondial cv.) under clay soil conditions using flood irrigation system. These treatments were arranged in a split split plot design with three replicates. Planting date was arranged in the main plots, irrigation water quantities were in the sub plots, while foliar spray treatments were randomly distributed in the sub sub plots.The obtained results indicate that, the tertiary interactions of planting on 10 th Oct., irrigation at 100 % of FC and spraying potato plants with calcium and boron in combination gave the highest values of plant height , both fresh and dry weight of shoot/ plant, total and free water % as well as total chlorophyll ( a+b) in leaf tissues, N, P, K, Ca , Boron and total carbohydrates contents in shoots in both seasons. While the tertiary interactions of planting on 20 th Sep., irrigation level at 50 % from FC and unsprayed with calcium and boron gave the highest values of bound water % and proline amino acid in leaf tissues in both seasons. FAWZY MANSOUR & HANAN ABU EL-FOTOHConclusively, under similar conditions it could be concluded that , the tertiary interaction of planting on 10 th Oct , irrigation at 100 % FC and sprayed plants with Ca + B were the best interaction treatments for enhancing plant growth and chemical constituents in shoot of potato grown in clay soil under the same conditions.

“…Plant tuber yield and average tuber weight increased with increasing foliar application of Ca, whereas number of tubers/plant was decreased. Similar results reported by Chowdhury 2017, Simango and Walls 2017, Tantawy et al 2017, Singh et al 2018and Mansour and Abo El-Fotoh (2019, they found that sprayed potato plants with calcium and/or boron stimulated dry matter accumulation increased tuber yield and improving quality as well as chemical composition.…”

Two field trials were conducted on potato plants cv. Spunta, in the vegetable private farm at Kafr Meet Faris, Dakahlia Governorate, during two winter seasons of 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 to study the influence of foliar spray with calcium (0, 1000, 1500 and 2000 ppm) and some antioxidants (control, Ascorbic acid at 300 ppm, boric acid at 100 ppm and Salicylic acid at 50 ppm) in additions to their interaction on plant growth, yield and its components as well as chemical constituents in tuber.In general, all the studied characteristics were better in plants sprayed calcium compared with the control treatment. Plant length, number of main stems/plant, number of leaves/plant, leaf area and foliage dry weight/plant, total tubers yield, marketable tubers yield, tuber dry weight, the tuber content of N, P, K, starch and TSS were increased with increasing calcium level up to 2000 ppm.Foliar spray with antioxidants led to significant increases of the vegetative growth characteristics and enhanced total yield and its components as well as chemical constituents in tuber. Foliar spray with boric acid at 100 ppm have the highest records in all studied characteristics followed by Salicylic acid in both seasons.The positive interactions between foliar spray calcium levels and foliar spray with antioxidants were often observed.The best results were obtained by plants sprayed calcium at the level of 2000 ppm and boric acid followed by Salicylic acid.Therefore, this treatment could be recommended for raising potato yield and improving tuber quality of potato under such conditions of this study.
