True potato seed production and its economic analysis as influenced by supplemental nitrogen and planting density

A field experiment was carried out to evaluate True Potato Seed (TPS) production and its relative economic return as influenced by supplemental nitrogen (N) at a range of 0-250 kg ha-1 and planting density at a range of 8-16 haulms m-2 in potato mother plants (Solanum tuberosum L.) using a cross of MF-II ( female [...]

Comparison of different transplanted true potato seed populations

A study was conducted in Raipur, Madhya Pradesh, India, during the winter season to explore the possibilities of growing potato crop with the transplanted seedling and select the best true potato seed (TPS) population. Three TPS populations, i.e. HPS I/13, HPS II/13 and HPS 7/67, obtained from the Central Potato Research Station, Shimla, and seed [...]

Effect of gibberellic acid on the duration of dormancy of potato tubers produced by plants derived from true potato seed

Gibberellic acid (GA) was applied to potato tubers cultivated from true seed (TPS) either by immersion of intact tubers in aqueous solutions, or by the excision of a small area of the tuber close to the point of detachment from the stolon and immersion of this region only in GA. Corresponding treatments with deionised water [...]
