Abstract The high-quality potato seed availability in Indonesia always to be attempted continuously by Indonesian governments to encourage national potato production optimization. One of the efforts is through aeroponic potato seed production. The G0 (zero generation seed) aeroponic potato produces a better yield and healthier tuber compare to G0 conventional potato production. IVegRI has undertaken studies related to G0 potato aeroponic. The results have been disseminated and some of them have been adopted by the potato producers in various regions in Indonesia. The study aimed to investigate the potato aeroponic seed production in Indonesia based on the producers’ perception of the benefits and challenges. The study was conducted from April to December 2017, in 8 districts from 6 provinces, engaging 18 G0 aeroponic potato producers. Data were analyzed descriptively. The resulting study showed that G0 aeroponic producers perceived the production of G0 aeroponic potato as more profitable compared to G0 conventional. The advantages covered: the production was higher, the yield tuber was healthier and sterile, and also it could be produced anytime. Meanwhile, challenges faced were: initially investment cost was quite expensive, electricity installation frequently was unstable and, the challenge concocted a suitable potato aeroponic nutrition.

The main objective of this study was to determine the extent of adoption of improved potato production technologies by the potato growers. Data were collected from 231 potato growers of three highly concentrated potato growing Upazilas, namely Pirgachha (Rangpur), Munshiganj Sadar (Munshiganj), and Shibganj (Bogra) during October 2010 to February 2011. The potato growers showed marked individual differences in their socio-economic characteristics and majority of them belonged to middle age category having small family size, primary level of education, small farm size, medium innovativeness, and medium contact with extension personnel. The study revealed that highest proportion of the respondents in Munshiganj Sadar belonged to high adoption category in case of BARI recommended potato variety (72.6%), optimum planting time (87.7%), use of balanced fertilizers (45.2%), whereas medium adoption categories were found in quality potato seed (52.1%), proper seed size (47.9%), fertilizer application methods (71.2%), optimum irrigation (89%), earthing up (84.9%), plant protection (74%), and low adoption categories were found in maintaining proper spacing (42.5%). In Pirganj of Rangpur, highest proportion of the respondents belonged to high adoption category in case of BARI recommended potato variety (77%), optimum planting time (83.8%), whereas medium adoption categories were found in the use of quality potato seed (64.9%), balanced fertilizer (43.2%), proper seed size (52.7%), fertilizer application methods (87.8%), optimum irrigation (97.3%), earthing up (86.5%), plant protection (93.2%), and low adoption categories were found in maintaining proper spacing (64.9%). In Shibganj of Bogra, highest proportion of the respondents were found in high adoption category in case of BARI recommended potato variety (75%), optimum planting time (86.9%), whereas medium adoption categories were found in use of quality potato seed (52.4%), balanced fertilizers (47.6%), fertilizer application methods (78.6%), optimum irrigation (95.2%), earthing up (88.1%), plant protection (76.2%), and low adoption categories were found in maintaining proper spacing (59.5%) and proper seed size (57.1%). The study also revealed that highest (53.4%) proportion of the respondents in Munshiganj Sadar belonged to high potato yield (above 29 ton/ha) farmer category while medium potato yield (between 19 to 29 t/ha) category were found in other two areas i.e., Shibganj (58.80%) and Pirgachha (79.50%). Education, farm size, subsistence pressure, annual income, contact with the sources of information, farming experience, attitude, and knowledge on potato production showed significant positive relationship with adoption of improved potato production technologies.

The results of the study on the production of potato minitubers by aeroponic and aero-hydroponic methods, which are non-substrate methods of growing plants, are presented. In order to develop technologies for growing virus-free potato seed material in closed systems, experiments on growing potato minitubers in multiuse aeroponic systems were conducted. Early-ripening potato varieties Rosara, Antonina and Yubilyar, mid-ripening Solnechny variety, and S-112 and Ch hybrids were used as the tested potato varieties. The plant growing cycle was divided into three phases: adaptation, growth, and tuberization. For each phase, different cultivation parameters were used. As a light source, highpressure sodium lamps DNaT 400 were used. The quantitative yield of potato minitubers per one plant on this type of systems was as follows: Antonina variety – 15.3 pcs., Yubilyar variety – 23 pcs., Hybrid Ch – 28.1 pcs., Hybrid S-112 – 30.2 pcs., Solnechny variety – 30.3 pcs., Rosara variety – 43.9 pcs. The effect of various light sources on the quantitative yield of potato minitubers of Nevsky and Yubilyar varieties was studied for this type of systems. Cultivation of potatoes in these systems was carried out according to the technology described, but using two different types of light sources. In the control variant, high-pressure sodium lamps DNaT 400 were used, in the experimental variant, LED lamps produced by CoB (full spectrum) technology with a passive cooling system were used. The use of LED lighting on Nevsky variety led to a statistically signifi cant increase in the quantitative yield of potato minitubers from one plant compared to the control, by 20.88%. The prospects of using Fagro aero-hydroponic systems for adaptation of potato microplants and for obtaining potato minitubers of Rosara and Solnechny varieties were shown. The quantitative yield of potato minitubers per plant on this type of installations was 46.9 pcs. for Rosara variety, and 56.7 pcs. for Solnechny.

Potato is one of the main carbohydrate sources around the world, including Indonesia. Potato production in Bali generally does not use good quality of potato seed, causing disease infection and reduce productivity. An alternative effort to produce high quality potato is by induce mutation of tuber using gamma ray irradiation. This study aims to find out percentage of survival after irradiation of ‘Granola’ potato shoots and determine the post-irradiation potato growth and productivity. This research was conducted at Laboratory of Central Application of Isotope and Irradiation (PAIR), Pasar Jumat, Batan, Jakarta and UPT BBITPH Bedugul, Bali. Planting materials were early generation (G0) potato seed tubers. This study employ completely randomized factorial design with one factor, i.e. irradiation doses of 0, 20 gy and 40 Gy. Variable observed included percentage of shoots survive, and variations in production. Results showed that 20 Gy was the best dose to increase tuber production.

Северная часть территории Архангельской области характеризуется благоприятными фитосанитарными условиями для производства семенного картофеля. В то же время на урожайность и качество картофеля негативно влияет повреждение его тлями, многие виды которых – переносчики опасных вирусных заболеваний. Цель наших исследований: уточнение видового состава и оценка динамики численности тлей – возможных носителей инфекционной нагрузки при выращивании высококачественного семенного материала картофеля в условиях северных районов Архангельской области. Исследования проводили в 2018–2019 годах в северной части Архангельской области (Холмогорский район, ООО «Агрофирма «Холмогорская»). Опытный участок был представлен посадками картофеля различных сортов первого полевого поколения. Предшественник – вико-овсяная смесь на силос. Погодные условия за период проведения исследований значительно отличались по температурному режиму. Сумма среднесуточных температур в 2018 году составила 1239,1 °С, в 2019 году – 918,4 °С. Количество выпавших осадков незначительно отличалось по годам. Тип почв в изучаемом регионе – подзолистые на суглинистой бескарбонатной морене. Мониторинг тлей-переносчиков вирусных заболеваний проводился методом отлова желтыми сосудами, заполненными водой (ловушки Мерике). На опытном поле располагали четыре ловушки по периметру учетного поля не ближе, чем 5 м от края. Дата установки ловушек соответствовала прорастанию клубней картофеля. Изучение динамики лета тлей в условиях северных территорий Архангельской области позволило выявить видовой состав и численность популяций тлей, присутствующих на посадках семенного картофеля. Выявлено девять видов, пять из которых – потенциальные источники вирусной инфекции. При сравнительно небольших различиях по количеству выпавших осадков и более низких температурах, в 2019 году выявлено на 41% меньше особей тлей, чем в более теплом 2018 году. Наибольшая численность выявлена у черемухово-злаковой тли Rhopalosiphum padi L. – 19–25 особей (23–30%) и бобовой тли Aphis fabae Scop. – 19–16 особей (18–25%). Доля тлей, непосредственно питающихся на картофеле и являющихся прямыми переносчиками вирусов, в 2018 составляла 37%, в 2019 году – 38%. Доля потенциальных переносчиков инфекции за счет пробных уколов в 2018 году составляла 31%, в 2019 году – 44%. The northern part of the Arkhangelsk region is characterized by favorable phytosanitary conditions for the production of seed potatoes. However, the yield and quality of potatoes are adversely affected by aphids, many of which are vectors of dangerous viral diseases. The purpose of our research was to clarify the species composition and assess the dynamics of the number of aphids and possible transfers of infectious load when growing high-quality potato seed material in the Northern districts of the Arkhangelsk region. The research was carried out in 2018–2019 in the northern part of the Arkhangelsk region (Holmogorsky district, Holmogorskaya Agrofirm LLC). The experimental site was represented by planting potatoes of different varieties of the category of the first field generation. The precursor is the vico-oat mixture on the silo. Weather conditions during the period of research significantly differed in temperature conditions. The sum of the average daily temperatures in 2018 was 1239.1 °C, in 2019 – 918.4 °C. The amount of precipitation varied slightly over the years. The type of soil in the studied region is podzolic on a loamy, carbon-free moraine. Monitoring of aphids-vectors of viral diseases was carried out by catching yellow vessels filled with water (Merike traps). On the experimental field, 4 traps were located along the perimeter of the accounting field no closer than 5 meters from the edge. The date of setting the traps corresponded to the germination of potato tubers. The study of the dynamics of the flight of aphids in the northern territories of the Arkhangelsk region revealed the species composition and the number of populations of aphids present at the planting of seed potatoes. Nine species have been identified, 5 of which are potential sources of viral infection. With relatively small differences in precipitation and lower temperatures, 41% fewer aphids were detected in 2019 than in warmer 2018. The largest number was found in the black-grain apthat Rhopalosiphum padi L. 19–25 individuals (23–30%) and bean wase и Aphis fabae Scop. – 19–16 individuals (18–25%). The proportion of aphids directly fed on potatoes and are direct vectors of viruses in 2018 was 37%, in 2019 – 38%. The proportion of potential vectors of infection due to test injections in 2018 was 31%, in 2019 – 44%.
