The Mean

SUMMARYSeedling tubers of three true potato seed (TPS) crosses raised in a seedbed soil mixture of clay, sand and dry leaves produced about 3.1 kg of seedling tubers m−2 in the growing season of 1988–89 and between 4.3 and 5.1 kg m−2 in 1989/90. The seedling tubers produced were stored and their use as seed tubers was subsequently compared with the locally popular variety Alpha. The mean tuber yields of the hybrids ranged between 9.4 and 11 t ha−1 in 1990/91 and between 21.9 and 22.9 t ha−1 in 1991/92. Mean tuber yields of cultivar Alpha were 14.3 t ha−1 in 1990/91 and 24.1 t ha−1 in 1991/92, showing that tuber yields comparable to those of imported seed tubers could be obtained from seedling tubers of TPS origin.

The Cost

The study was conducted in Khowai district of Tripura with randomly selected True Potato Seed (TPS) growers. TPS can serve as a great alternative to the seed tubers in the hilly state of Tripura as only 100 g TPS is needed for one ha. of land as compared to nearly 2 tones of seed tubers required to plant in the same area. TPS can be used as a suitable alternative technology of potato cultivation in the state to improve the productivity and reduce the cost of production. The technological need of the majority of the TPS growers, i.e., 87.50 per cent was plant protection measures with rank I. The other technological need observed were post harvest treatment (79.17 %) which includes application of boric acid, sorting and grading, packing, curing etc. and method of fertilizer application (76.67 %) with II and III rank respectively. So, it is utmost necessary that the agricultural extension workers through regular trainings on plant protection measures with the TPS growers should guide the farmers to get optimum yield per unit area by effective management of pests and diseases.

A field study was carried out at Khumaltar-Lalitpur, during 2002-2004 to evaluate and comparethe performance of different sizes of seedling tubers (1-5 g, 5-10 g, 10-20 g and 20-40 g) of truepotato seed (TPS) with whole and half cut seed tubers of Desiree of 20-40 g size at 60- × 25-cmspacing. Percent emergence, plant height, ground cover by foliage, stems/plant, number of tubersper plant, marketable and total yields were significantly increased with the increase in seedlingtubers weight as compared to whole and half cut seed tubers of Desiree. Late blight(Phytophthora infestans L.) disease was quite low in the TPS crops than Desiree. Both wholeand half cut seed tubers of Desiree produced significantly higher average per tuber weight.Uniformity of the tubers harvested from different sizes of seedling tubers was statisticallysimilar and tubers from Desiree were statistically uniform as compared to seedling tubers. Thethree years result suggests that more than 1 g size seedling tubers can be successfully used forpotato production as from the seed tubers of any standard variety.Key words: Desiree; seedling tuber; tuber size; tuber yieldDOI: 10.3126/narj.v6i0.3341Nepal Agriculture Research Journal Vol.6 2005 pp.28-34

The Cost

SummaryThirty-two experiments examining the effects of the weight and within-row spacing of potato seed tubers on graded tuber yields of five varieties were conducted on eight sites from 1980 to 1985. A complex analysis technique was used to combine these data and estimate the optimum tuber planting densities for different ratios of seed cost to small (40–60 mm) and large (60–80 mm) ware value. The same technique could be applied to any other combination of seed cost, ware size and ware value.The optimum tuber planting density decreased with increasing seed-tuber weight. Differences in optimum planting density between varieties were much greater with small (35 g) than with large (105 g) seed tubers and decreased as the cost of seed increased relative to the value of ware. As large ware became worth more than small ware the influence of increasing seed cost on the optimum density was reduced. As the value of large ware increased, net returns increased and the effect of seed cost on net returns was reduced. Mean tuber size decreased with increasing stem density at harvest and at the same stem density was lower in varieties producing more daughter tubers/stem. Changes of mean tuber size (μ) and the spread of yield across size grades (σ) with time were well described by parallel curves in different varieties. It is suggested that in future it may not be necessary to determine optimum tuber planting densities by complex experiments involving several seed-tuber weights and spacings. Instead μ and σ could be estimated from simple experiments and tuber spacings determined by comparison with control varieties.
