“…One of the major differences between the field experiments and those in nutrient culture was the "loose' nature of the surrounding medium which seemed to encourage prolific stolon development. In the field, soil compaction may reduce tuber numbers (Ewing & Struik, 1992) through effects on soil temperature and moisture (Kouwenhoven, 1970) and mechanical resistance (Vreugdenhil & Struik. 1989).…”

SummaryFive experiments studied the effects of shading, temperature and stolon growth medium on stolon and tuber formation. The lowest numbers of stolons and tubers were produced at the higher and lower nodes. Numbers of primary stolons and tubers were relatively stable across nodes and treatments and variation in total numbers was largely due to changes in numbers of lateral and branch stolons. In the field, 70% shading reduced numbers of stolons and tubers by reducing lateral and branch stolons, while in hydroponics, 45% shading and temperatures at initiation had no effect on tuber numbers. In both environments later planting tended to reduce numbers of stolons and tubers. There were large effects of the physical environment, with compost producing three times as many tubers as dry vermiculite. The potential number of tubers may be determined by the number of stolons and the environmental conditions affecting stolon formation and development.

“…These studies report that as mother tubers or seed pieces are planted closer to the soil surface, daughter tubers typically grow closer to the soil surface. Tubers closer to the soil surface are more likely to become green, sunburn [14], or infected with phytophthora infestans as the season progresses [15]. Therefore, this study was conducted to find out the role of different sowing dates, planting depth and mulching treatments on growth and yield of autumn potato crop.…”

Field experiments were carried out to study the role of various planting depths i.e. 10, 15 and 20 cm along with mulching on growth and yield attributes of autumn potato crop sown at different dates 15 and 29) at Horticulture Research Farm, The University of Agriculture Peshawar, during 2014-15 and 2015-16. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement. Sowing dates were kept in main plot, while planting depth and mulching were in sub plot. The two years average results revealed that sowing dates, planting depth, mulch treatments and their interactions have significant effects on potato growth and yield parameters. Potato crop sown earlier on October 01 showed maximum plant height (50.4 cm), number of leaves plant -1 (33) and marketable tuber yield (16.2 t ha -1 ). Regarding planting depths, tuber planted at a depth of 15 cm produced maximum emergence (86 %), plant height (45.5 cm), number of leaves plant -1 (32) and marketable tuber yield (13.8 t ha -1 ) as compared to tubers planted at a depth of 10 and 20 cm. Mulching resulted in maximum emergence (83 %), plant height (42.6 cm), number of leaves plant -1 (30) and marketable tuber yield (13.6 t ha -1 ) as compared to no mulching. The interaction effect of sowing dates, planting depth and mulching significantly affected all the growth and yield parameters. Therefore, it can be concluded from the results that early sowing of potato crop on October 01 at a depth of 15 cm with organic mulching resulted in better growth and yield of autumn potato crop under the climatic condition of Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

“…Several authors have used temperature as a predictor of potato sprout growth (Sale 1979;MacKerron 1984), while others have included soil moisture and physiological age of seed tubers (Firman et al 1992). Due to moisture and temperature differences throughout a soil profile, planting depth can strongly influence emergence rate (Kouwenhoven 1970;Lewis and Rowberry 1973;Firman et al 1992). Although the volume and mechanical resistance of soil have been shown to affect sprout growth (Taylor and Ten Broeck 1988;Weaver 1980;Royle and Hegarty 1977), soil moisture and temperature differences are more commonly cited as factors limiting the rate of potato emergence (Moore 1937;Kouwenhoven 1970;Lewis and Rowberry 1973;Firman et al 1992).…”

The effects of planting depth on potato cultivars grown in the Columbia Basin of Washington State have gone unreported. The response of potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivars 'Russet Burbank' and 'Umatilla Russet' to planting depth was evaluated during 2000, 2001, and 2002. The objectives were to determine how planting depth affected potato plant morphology, tuber greening, yield, and economic value in the Columbia Basin. Ten-and 20-cm planting depths were used all three years; 15-and 25-cm depths were added in 2002. Soil temperature extremes and heat-unit accumulation typically increased as seed pieces were planted closer to the soil surface. Plant emergence was occasionally delayed with an increase in planting depth for both cultivars. Node, stolon, and tuber number per stem increased as planting depth increased, but tuber number per plant did not. Russet Burbank stem number increased as seed pieces were planted closer to the soil surface; Umatilla stem number was not affected by planting depth. Despite differences in the emergence rate due to planting depth, total yield was not affected. However, marketable yield and gross income typically declined when seed pieces were planted shallow (10 cm). The largest impact to marketable yield and gross income came from green tubers. Tuber greening was reduced as seed pieces were planted deeper.Resumen No existen informes de los efectos de siembra profunda sobre los cultivares que crecen en la cuenca del Columbia del Estado de Washington. Se evaluó la respuesta de los cultivares de papa (Solanum tuberosum) 'Russet Burbank' y 'Umatilla Russet' a la profundidad de siembra, durante las campañas 2000, 2001 y 2002. Los objetivos fueron determinar el efecto que tiene la profundidad de siembra sobre la morfología de la planta, el verdeo del tubérculo, el rendimiento y el valor económico, en la cuenca del Columbia. Se probaron las profundidades de siembra de 10 y 20 cm los tres años; 15 y 20 cm se incluyeron el 2002. La temperatura extrema del suelo y la acumulación de la unidad de calor se incrementaron visiblemente a medida que los pedazos de semilla se sembraron cerca de la superficie del suelo en ambos cultivares. La emergencia de planta fue ocasionalmente retardada con el incremento de la profundidad de siembra en ambos cultivares. El numero de nudos, estolones y tubérculos por tallo incrementaron a medida que se aumentó la profundidad de siembra, pero no incrementó el número de tubérculos por planta. En Russet Burbank aumentó el número de tallos a medida que los pedazos de semilla se sembraron mas cerca de la superficie del suelo; en Umatilla, el número de tallos no fue afectado por la profundidad de siembra. A pesar de las diferencias en la emergencia de las plantas debido a la profundidad de siembra, el rendimiento total no fue afectado. Sin embargo, el rendimiento comercial y el ingreso bruto disminuyeron cuando la semilla se sembró a poca profundidad (10 cm). El mayor impacto al rendimiento comercial e ingreso bruto, vino de los tubérculos verdeados. El verdeo disminuyó ...
