Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Umatilla Russet had the highest total yield at 56.5 t per hectare.
- Intervention effect Potassium fertilization increased US No. 1 yield by 12% versus control.
- Intervention effect Total yield did not differ significantly among potassium rates from 224 to 896 kg K2O per hectare.
- Method / resource The yield response model identified a 251 kg K2O per hectare breakpoint.
- Intervention effect The model indicated no significant yield increase above the breakpoint.
- Association Higher potassium rates were associated with lower tuber specific gravity.
- Intervention effect Potassium sulfate and potassium chloride produced similar yields.
