Study the Plantlet Age Effect and Planting Beds on Agria Potato Mini-Tuber Production under in vivo Condition

Minituber production potential of selected Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) genotypes in different propagation media

“…There was no media x genotype interaction with respect to plant survival and establishment ( Table 2). The variation in plant survival and establishment percentage in different growth media agrees with the findings by Hassanpanah and Khodadadi (2009) who reported the advantage of vermiculite medium against other media which led to the maximum tuber yield under greenhouse conditions. Vermiculite has excellent ex-change and buffering capacities as well as the ability to supply potassium and magnesium (Badon and Chauhan, 2010).…”

Comparison of Old and New Clones of Potato Nuclear Seed Stocks for Tuber Uniformity in The Greenhouse

“…The tuber uniformity of the clones has been reported as consistent in the successive field multiplication stages of the mini tubers (Wright, 1983;Niemira et al, 1995;Kenneth and Charlton, 2004;Coltman, 2012). During the greenhouse multiplication of meristem plants, tuber number per plant was reported as 2 for Agria (Hassanpanah and Khodadadi, 2009) which was a little lower than the value obtained in this study. Nielsen et al (2002) reported the stability of Granola meristem clones tested several years in the field.…”

Rapid Multiplication Technique for Production of High-Quality Seed Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Tubers

“…The germination percentage varied, among tested varieties (79-94.75%) and the observation recorded varied due to varietal/genotype differences/attributes, post three weeks transplanting. However, the interaction between genotype and soil media at the stage of germination seems insignificant [9]. This could be due to strong genotypic differences between the varieties used in the present study which seem to be at par with each other, over the various medium used in the study.…”
