Performance of potato seed tubers of first, second, third, fourth, and fifth generations were evaluated against PVY and PLRV. Potato plants grown from first generation seed tubers were free from PVY infection. Incidence of the virus was the minimal at second generation, which increased afterwards steadily by third, fourth, and fifth generations. Incidence of PLRV was minimal at first generation. It increased gradually with the advancement of generation seed tubers showing the highest incidence at fifth generation. The highest plant growth and tuber yield were recorded at second generation, which was followed by third, fourth, and fifth generations. The highest reduction in plant height, tuber number, and tuber yield were recorded in 5th generation due to infection of PVY and PLRV.

AbstractIncreased use of dicamba and/or glyphosate in dicamba/glyphosate-tolerant soybean might affect many sensitive crops, including potato. The objective of this study was to determine the growth and yield of ‘Russet Burbank’ potato grown from seed tubers (generation 2) from mother plants (generation 1) treated with dicamba (4, 20, and 99 g ae ha−1), glyphosate (8, 40, and 197 g ae ha−1), or a combination of dicamba and glyphosate during tuber initiation. Generation 2 tubers were planted near Oakes and Inkster, ND, in 2016 and 2017, at the same research farm where the generation 1 tubers were grown the previous year. Treatment with 99 g ha−1dicamba, 197 g ha−1glyphosate, or 99 g ha−1dicamba + 197 g ha−1glyphosate caused emergence of generation 2 plants to be reduced by up to 84%, 86%, and 87%, respectively, at 5 wk after planting. Total tuber yield of generation 2 was reduced up to 67%, 55%, and 68% when 99 g ha−1dicamba, 197 g ha−1glyphosate, or 99 g ha−1dicamba + 197 g ha−1glyphosate was applied to generation 1 plants, respectively. At each site year, 197 g ha−1glyphosate reduced total yield and marketable yield, while 99 g ha−1dicamba reduced total yield and marketable yield in some site-years. This study confirms that exposure to glyphosate and dicamba of potato grown for potato seed tubers can negatively affect the growth and yield potential of the subsequently grown daughter generation.

The performance of seed tubers harvested from potato plants grown from sprout cutting, stem cutting and conventional seed tubers against PVY and PLRV were investigated. Sprout cutting, stem cutting and conventional seed tubers of variety Diamant were planted and second and third generation seed tubers were harvested. The least incidence of PVY and PLRV was recorded when seed tubers from sprout cutting were used. Whereas, the highest incidence of the viruses was observed where conventional seed tubers wete planted. Incidence of PVY, PLRV and their mixed infection was lower in earlier generations as compared to later generations. Performance of seed tubers produced from sprout cutting was better in respect of plant growth, tuber number and tuber yield per hill as compared to seed tubers obtained from stem cutting or conventional method.

ABSTRACT Potato seed is one of the largest costs of a crop. This is mostly due to the incidence and spread of viruses that occurs when the crop is grown in the open field. Thus, it is necessary to obtain virus-free potato plantlets through meristem isolation, with subsequent cultivation in a protected environment, where it is easier to control virus-spreading insects. One way to increase greenhouse viability is by multiplicating potato seed using high technology systems, among them, aeroponics. The objective of this work was to determine the effect of planting density on the growth and yield of potato plants cv. Agata in aeroponic cultivation, and the effect of harvesting dates and planting densities on the dormancy of harvested minitubers. The number of stems, leaves, and the number and fresh weight of minitubers/plant reduced when planting density was increased from 60 to 180 plants/m2. However, the number of stems, leaves, initiated minitubers, and the number and fresh weight of minitubers/m2 increased when planting density was increased from 60 to 180 plants/m2. The maximum number of type III minitubers (>30 mm) was 613/m2, obtained at the density of 180 plants/m2. Plant density did not affect the dormancy of harvested minitubers, but harvesting date did. Minitubers obtained from latter harvesting dates had a shorter dormancy period. Minitubers harvested at 78 and 64 days after transplanting sprouted 21 and seven days earlier than those picked at 50 days after transplanting.

SUMMARYPotato seed tubers inoculated with Rhizoctonia solani and Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica, to induce stem canker and blackleg respectively, were planted with uninoculated seed tubers in field experiments designed to measure the effects of the diseases and of neighbouring plants on tuber yield. Gaps were also included. The plant variables total and ware (> 150 g) yields and tuber numbers were affected by disease, and also by competition from the two plants on either side in the same row (first neighbours), and increased as competition from neighbouring plants decreased. Plants adjacent to the first neighbours also influenced yields of plants with stem canker but those in adjacent rows did not have a significant effect with either disease. Both diseases altered the tuber size distributions, which were also modified by neighbouring plants. The data were used to predict total and ware yields for crops containing different proportions of healthy, diseased and missing plants.

1. Three experiments designed to investigate the effects of consolidation and aeration of soil beneath potato seed tubers before planting, and inter-row grubbing after planting, on the growth and yield of potatoes are described and the results discussed.2. Consolidation of furrows beneath seed tubers by tractor wheels at planting had no effect on total weight of ware-size tubers produced but increased the weight of mis-shapen waresize tubers. It is argued that this effect was related to soil moisture content and tilth at planting time.

Tuber Transmission

Greenhouse and field studies indicated that between 30 and 40 per cent. of tubers from spotted-wilt-diseased potato plants transmit the disease. Tubers with characteristic distortion and terminal cracking due to early infection show a lower rate of transmission than normal-looking tubers from diseased plants. There is a discontinuous distribution of virus within infected tubers, some parts being free of virus. Second-generation diseased tubers show approximately the same rate of transmission as first-generation diseased tubers, but the incidence of terminal cracking is very low. A high proportion of plants emerging diseased from 'seed' are capable of surviving throughout the season to act as a source of infection. Vector studies made by mass collection and by tanglefoot trapping showed that Thrips tabaci Lind. is the main vector species in the Canberra region. The causes of epidemic outbreaks and measures that may be taken to combat them are discussed.
