Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Potassium sulfate at 96 kg K2O/fed significantly increased stem length, leaf number and leaf area.
- Intervention effect Potassium sulfate at 96 kg K2O/fed significantly increased fresh and dry foliage weights.
- Intervention effect Potassium sulfate at 96 kg K2O/fed significantly increased total yield, tuber number and tuber weight.
- Intervention effect The 96 kg K2O/fed potassium treatment significantly increased tuber TSS, dry matter and specific gravity.
- Intervention effect The 96 kg K2O/fed potassium treatment significantly increased ascorbic acid and nutrient concentrations.
- Intervention effect Foliar macro and micronutrients at 6 g/L increased vegetative growth, yield and tuber quality.
- Intervention effect Foliar nutrient spray significantly reduced tuber weight loss during storage.
- Intervention effect Combined potassium and foliar nutrient treatments were generally more effective than single treatments.
- Intervention effect The combination of 96 kg K2O/fed and 6 g/L foliar nutrients increased vegetative growth and total tuber yield over other treatments.
- Intervention effect The combination increased tuber ascorbic acid, TSS and nutrient concentrations over other treatments.
- Intervention effect The combination enhanced tuber storability over other treatments.
- Recommendation The authors recommend the combined treatment to raise yield and improve tuber quality in similar conditions.
