e0“Dipping the base of the stem cuttings in chitosan solution before planting + foliar spraying of the plants with chitosan was the best method for increasing dry weight of shoots, N,P and K uptake by shoots, marketable yield and total yield and also, for decreasing weight loss (%) and decay (%) in tuber roots during storage period.”
