- Intervention effect Seed potato specific density, starch and dry matter contents increased from 40% to 65% irrigation.
- Intervention effect Irrigation above 65% reduced seed specific density by 0.03 and 0.04 in the two trials.
- Intervention effect Irrigation above 65% reduced seed starch by 2.6% and 3.7% in the two trials.
- Intervention effect Full irrigation reduced subsequent stem number relative to 65% irrigation.
- Intervention effect Full irrigation reduced subsequent stem density relative to 65% irrigation.
- Intervention effect Full irrigation reduced subsequent stem height relative to 65% irrigation.
- Intervention effect Full irrigation reduced tuberization capacity by 5 and 8.7 tubers in the two trials.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen and phosphorus increased seed specific density, starch and dry matter.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen and phosphorus above 112.5 kg N/ha and 75.9 kg P/ha reduced those quality traits.
- Intervention effect Integrating nitrogen up to 112.5 kg N/ha with 65% irrigation increased resulting tuber number by 3.4 and 5.4.
- Intervention effect A 75.9 kg P/ha rate increased tuberization by 8.4 and 10.7.
