Effects of NPS Fertilizer Rates on Yield and Yield Components of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Varieties in Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: Solanum tuberosum L. is a high-yielding crop that can be produced twice or four times per year. But its yield is limited due to low soil fertility and limited use of improved varieties. The study's objective was to identify the blend NPS fertilizer rates for potato varieties yield and yield components. The experiment was carried out using a factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The results revealed …

Effect of Maturity Days on Yield and Processing Quality of Potato Varieties
Abstract: ABSTRACTQuality attributes of potato tubers particularly size of tubers, dry matter, starch and sugar contents are the areas of major concern of potato growers as well as processors. Three Indian processing cultivars (Kufri Chipsona-1, Kufri Surya and Kufri Frysona) were evaluated for yield and processing quality at three maturity dates (90, 100 and 110 days). Highest French fry grade tubers (25.54 t/ha) and total tubers yield (40.69 t/ha) were recorded …

Evaluating improved Irish Potato varieties for the yield and agronomic traits in Southwest region of Ethiopia.
Abstract: Despite making substantial contributions to food security, revenue production, the provision of food energy, and the preservation of the resource base, the food potential of horticulture crops, particularly that of root and tuber crops, has not yet been fully tapped and utilized. In order to determine the optimal high yielding, pest and disease resistant/tolerant variety(ies) for the target area, the experiment was conducted to test the adaptability of enhanced potato …
