The response of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars Russet Burbank and Kennebec to soil and fertiliser potassium (K) was studied on basaltic krasnozems of north-west Tasmania. Yield increases in response to fertiliser K were recorded at sites with up to 300-400 mg/kg of bicarbonate extractable soil K. The close correlation between relative yield and soil K indicated that soil K can reliably predict fertiliser requirements. Petiole K concentrations at early tuber set increased with fertiliser K at responsive sites; maximum yields were achieved with 12-14% petiole K for Kennebec and 11-13% for Russet Burbank. Petiole K concentrations provide an excellent indication of the K status of a growing crop. Tuber K concentrations increased with both soil and fertiliser K, and yields of 50-80 t/ha removed 180-380 kg K/ha in the tubers. At severely deficient sites specific gravity and crisp colour increased with low rates of fertiliser K, but the general trend was for fertiliser K to reduce specific gravity and crisp colour. Bruising susceptibility decreased with fertiliser K at some sites but the physiological disorder, 'hollow heart', was not influenced by fertiliser K. There were consistent differences between the 2 cultivars. Russet Burbank required higher soil K, had lower petiole and tuber K concentrations and removed less K in the marketable tubers.

The Difference

Processing quality parameters within different sections of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers grown in Manitoba were measured to determine variability within tubers and to determine if whole tuber quality could be predicted from a specific section. The section that provided the best prediction of overall tuber quality parameters was determined. Changes in specific gravity (SG) and sugars in the outside and the inside of tubers during several months of storage were also measured. Dry matter (DM) of potato cvs. Russet Burbank and Shepody was generally higher at the apical and stem ends than in the middle section and was significantly higher in the outside than in the inside of the tuber. Sucrose concentration generally decreased from the stem end to the apical end of the tuber in Russet Burbank but increased from the stem end to the apical end in Shepody. Sucrose, glucose, and fructose were generally greater, though not always significantly, in the inside of the tuber compared with the outside with the exception of sucrose in Shepody where it was somewhat higher in the outside section. Glucose and fructose generally decreased from stem end to apical end although the difference between the two ends was significant only in Shepody. There was more variability in DM and the three sugars within Shepody tubers than those of Russet Burbank. The outer section of the tuber at the centre of the longitudinal axis (CO) was, overall, most highly correlated to the DM (r2 > 0.91) of the entire tuber for both cultivars and would be the most appropriate single location for estimating the DM of the entire tuber. Sugar concentrations of whole tubers could not consistently be estimated from that of any particular tuber location although the CO section had the highest correlations overall. During 6 mo storage SG did not change while sucrose decreased and glucose and fructose generally increased in both the outside (CO) and inside (CI) of the tuber. Linear regressions relating DM, SG, and sugars of the CO section to the whole tuber, and relating DM to SG were developed.

A study of the response of the tuber and vine traits of nine genotypes (A68710–5, Acadia Russet, F74123, Min9632, Neb71.72, Norchip, Norland, Russet Burbank, and W848) to five Prairie environments (Brooks and Edmonton, Alberta; Carman and Morden, Manitoba; Outlook, Saskatchewan) over a 3-yr period was undertaken to rationalize: (1) the location of Prairie trial sites and (2) the current system of early generation selection at an irrigated site for cultivar development for both dryland and irrigated areas in the Prairie provinces. Location × genotype interactions were significant for marketable yield traits, (P < 0.01), marketable tuber number (P < 0.01), average tuber weight (P < 0.05) and vine maturity (P < 0.05). The cause of these interactions was studied by joint regression, cluster, and principal component analysis. As expected, dryland and irrigated locations were grouped together. For marketable yield, both cluster and principal component analysis indicated that Neb71.72 and Russet Burbank formed one group and the remaining seven genotypes another. For the other tuber and vine traits, the regression approach and cluster analysis were less useful. Broad-sense heritabilities were low for yield traits and high for vine maturity, specific gravity, and chip fry color. Although the number of genotypes in the study was small, the data suggest that a moderate selection pressure for yield, with more severe selection for vine maturity, specific gravity, and chip score under irrigated conditions, should not eliminate clones adapted to the dryland areas of the Prairies. The results of this study also indicate that the two Manitoba sites as well as the two irrigated sites provide essentially the same information.Key words: Genotype-environment interaction, yield traits, quality traits

Summary. The response of cvv. Russet Burbank and Kennebec potatoes to different levels of residual and applied phosphorus (P) was compared on krasnozem and duplex soils in the Central Highlands of Victoria. Field experiments were conducted at 12 sites over 3 years to examine the effects of applied P (banded at planting) at rates up to 475 kg/ha on yield, petiolar P concentrations, tuber size, number of tubers/plant and specific gravity. The relationships between yield response and fertiliser P required to optimise yields with Olsen P and P adsorption isotherms were also determined. Application of P significantly (P<0.05) increased yields at 11 of the 12 sites for cv. Russet Burbank and at 6 of the 9 sites for cv. Kennebec. Based on data for all sites, there was a significant (P<0.001) Mitscherlich relationship between yield response to applied P and Olsen P. This relationship was significantly (P<0.05) different for each cultivar. The critical Olsen P concentration was 27 mg/kg for cv. Kennebec. However, for cv. Russet Burbank the relationship had not plateaued, although our Olsen P concentrations ranged from 5–46 mg/kg. For cv. Russet Burbank there was a significant (P<0.05) negative linear relationship between the amount of applied P required to achieve 95% of maximum yield and Olsen P concentrations. However, there was no significant (P>0.05) relationship between the amount of applied P required to achieve 99% of maximum yield and Olsen P concentrations. For these krasnozem and duplex soils, the predictive models of either yield response or the amount of applied P required to optimise yield, were not significantly (P>0.05) improved by including P sorptivity measures. At yield-responsive sites there were significant (P<0.05) changes in the proportion of tubers >280 g for both cultivars. However, the only quality parameter adversely affected by applied P was specific gravity. There were significant (P<0.05) Mitscherlich relationships between relative yield and petiole P concentrations for both cultivars. The following critical petiole P ranges have been proposed to assist in the assessment of the P status of cv. Russet Burbank crops in Victoria: 0.45–0.57% at a tuber length of 5–10 mm; 0.35–0.47% at a tuber length of 35–45 mm and 0.21–0.26% at a tuber length of 75–85 mm. The use of petiole sampling for assessment of the P status of potatoes before the 5–10 mm tuber stage is not recommended. The critical P range for cv. Russet Burbank was higher than the critical P range for cv. Kennebec at a 5–10 mm tuber length. The practical implications from this work are that Olsen P is a good indicator of a site’s potential yield response to applied P fertiliser. However, at those soil P concentrations where a yield response is expected, Olsen P is of little value to predict the amount of P fertiliser required to achieve maximum yields. We have established that separate calibration curves are required for cvv. Russet Burbank and Kennebec to define their critical Olsen P concentrations on krasnozem and duplex soils. This is the first work in Australia showing critical nutrient ranges for petiolar P over time in cv. Russet Burbank.
