Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Disinfection of seed tubers may obtain satisfactory control of common scab when a sufficient interval separates successive potato crops.
- Recommendation A 4-year interval between potato crops would probably be sufficient to ensure satisfactory results.
- Association Instantaneous dipping of tubers in proprietary organic mercurial solutions was the most satisfactory method for farmers.
- Association Planting very slightly affected seed in land without potatoes for many years may result in a high incidence of scab.
- Association Planting disinfected tubers caused a slight depression in growth, noticeable in the variety Majestic.
- Observation The growth depression disappeared after 10 to 12 weeks and the crop grew out normally.
- Association In some cases tuber disinfection stimulated plant growth.
- Association Disinfection of the seed tubers may increase tuber yield.
