USAGE OF SEEDLINGS FOR RECEIVING ULTRAEARLY HARVESTS OF POTATO
06.00.00 Agricultural sciences
Description
Using of seedling method for growing early potatoes accelerates the starting processes of growth and development of plants, and the application of temporary covers of the nonwoven covering materials protects the landing from sudden temperature changes and relapsing frost. To receive seedlings of early potatoes we used standard seed tubers of 60-80 g weigh of the following varieties: Agata, Red Scarlett, Kislovodskiy, Vershininskiy and Sheri. By the time of planting in the ground, depending on the varieties, the height of seedling was from 13 to 26 cm, the number of leaves - 7-10 pieces. Conducting of trial unearthing of potato showed that on 45 days after transplanting into the ground (the second decade of May), it is possible to receive up to 10, 5-11, 4 t/ha (Agata and Red Scarlett varieties). On 55 days (the third decade of May), the yield reached 26, 4 t/ha of standard tubers, and in the first decade of June the yield was from 26, 4 to 50, 6 t/ha. The maximum yield of standard tubers of 50, 6 t/ha was obtained by lifting on 65 days with the Red Scarlett variety. In the terms of the Astrakhan region the growing of early potato by seedling method with using of temporary cover allows to receive the ultra-early harvest of marketable tubers in the II-III decade of May
