Tidal acid land is a potential land for cassava development. However, the development of cassava in tidal land faces many obstacles, one of which is the low availability of nutrients. This study aimed to determine the effect of NPK fertilizer in increasing the growth and yield of cassava in tidal land. The experiment consisted of two factors, the first factor was two varieties of cassava and the second factor was four levels of NPK fertilizer doses. The experiment was applied in a strip plot design with variety as the horizontal factor and the level of NPK fertilizer as the vertical factor and repeated three times. The growth parameters observed consisted of plant height, stem diameter, plant biomass weight, number of large tubers, number of small tubers, large tuber length, length of small tuber, the diameter of large tuber, the diameter of small tuber, the total number of tubers, the weight of large tuber, the weight of tuber small, and total tuber weight. The results showed that fertilizer application was effective in increasing vegetative growth and yield of cassava but increasing the dose of fertilizer was not effective in increasing the growth and yield of cassava. Differences in varieties generally did not show differences in vegetative growth and some yield components but still showed different results in the components of tuber length and total tuber weight.

A field experiment was conducted at a private forest at Kalyanpur, Chitwan from March to January of 2018/2019 to evaluate the effect of different tuber size and nutrient source on the yield of yam (Dioscorea spp.). The experiment was laid out in a factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (factorial RCBD) with two factors i.e. tuber size viz small tuber size (<50 gm.) and large tuber size (100-150 gm.) and nutrient source viz farm yard manure, chicken manure and forest soil, replicated four times. The use of large size tubers has a significant effect on the yield of yam, higher yield (3.05 kg.) with large tuber size. Similarly, the interaction between tuber size and nutrient source was also significant on the yield. The highest yield (3.23 kg.) was made from the large size tuber (T1) and farm yard manure (M1) followed by the large size tuber (T1) and chicken manure (M2). The smallest yield (2.25 kg.) was from the interaction of small tuber size (T2) and farm yard manure (M2). Therefore, the use of a large size tuber (100-150 gm.) with farm yard manure as the nutrient source can be recommended to increase the yield of yam.

ABSTRACT The use of onion tubers with various sizes can affect the result of onion productivity. The availability of quality seeds and timely is a factor which plays a role in the success of the farmer of onion. Seed in the form of tubers are planting material that has been long to used in bussines farming. The use of seed tubers has variation measure of in weight. The weight size of seed tubers give affect the growth and result of cultivated shallots. The solution of this problem is looking for the right tuber size to get maximal production and result on local varieties that have been registered and issued by the Department of Agriculture. This research executed in Bagor Subdistrict, Nganjuk Regency in April 2018 until June 2018. It used Rancangan Acak Lengkap Faktorial (RAL Faktorial) with using 2 factor. The first factor was local varieties consisting of Bauji varieties, Biru Lancor and Batu Ijo. The second factor is 4 level of different size tuber weight. If there is a real difference, will be further testing using DMRT (Duncan Multiple Range Test) with an error rate of 5%. The parameters of observation consist of plant height, number of leaves, number of tubers, tuber diameter, tuber wet weight, tuber dry weight, tuber shrinkage and number of tuber layers. The results showed that the effect of the combination of the two factors had very significant effect on the parameters of fresh tuber weight and dry weight of onion. The varieties treatment showed the best results for fresh weight of the bulbs were Blue Lancor varieties. The treatment of seed tuber weight showed results to fresh weight of tuber was the weight of a large tuber. Key words: Onions, Seed Bulbs, Local Varieties.

Polyolefin-coated fertilizers are slow-release fertilizers coated with thermoplastic resins that have a temperature-dependent nutrient release pattern. A field study was conducted on a Hubbard loamy sand during 1997 and 1998 at Becker, Minn., to evaluate the effect of polyolefin-coated urea (POCU) fertilizers (Meister, Chisso Co., Japan) on yield and quality of irrigated `Russet Burbank' potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.). The coated fertilizers were POCU-50 and POCU-70, which release 80% of their N in 50 and 70 days, respectively, at 25 °C, and a 1 POCU-50: 1POCU-70 mixture. The study compared three soluble urea treatments (N at 0, 140, and 280 kg·ha-1) split-applied at planting, emergence, and hilling vs. the same N rates of coated urea fertilizers applied in a band at planting. In 1997, a season characterized by high leaching, total and large tuber (>168 g) yields were higher with coated urea sources than soluble urea at equivalent N rate, but the N sources gave similar yields in 1998 when leaching was minimal. In both years, doubling the rate of N as soluble or coated urea from 140 to 280 kg·ha-1 had no effect on total yield, but increased the marketable yield (tuber size). Yields were higher in 1998 compared to 1997 due to poorer tuber set in 1997. However, the percentage of large tubers was higher in 1997. Specific gravity increased slightly with N rate but did not differ with N source at equivalent N rate. Hollow heart incidence was similar among all treatments in 1997, but it increased with N rate and was similar among N sources in 1998.

Chlorosis and necrotic spotting develop on the foliage of particular cultivars of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) when grown under constant light. `Kennebec', a cultivar severely injured by constant light when propagated from tissue-cultured plantlets, also was injured when plants were propagated from small tuber pieces (≈1 g). However, plants did not develop injury when propagated from large tuber pieces (≈100 g). Plants from large tuber pieces grew more rapidly than plants from small tuber pieces. The role of plant vigor and carbohydrate translocation in controlling injury development is discussed.

Conestoga was registered in Canada in 1982. It has been readily accepted by chip producers and processors in Manitoba, although little information on the effect of commercial production practices on the yield and processing quality under Manitoba conditions is available. In this study, the effect of within-row seed piece spacing at three harvest dates on Conestoga potatoes for the early-season chip processing market was evaluated under rainfed conditions in southern Manitoba in 1982, 1983 and 1986. Treatments consisted of spacings of 22, 30, 38 and 46 cm between seed pieces within the row, with 1 m between row centers, harvested at 10-d intervals starting at 75 ± 5 d after planting (DAP) each year. As spacing between seed pieces increased, total, small and maingrade tuber yield and number, and specific gravity decreased. Large tuber yield and number increased. The number of mainstems per plant, the incidence of hollow heart and chip color were unaffected. Delaying harvest resulted in an increased yield of total and maingrade tubers, and higher specific gravity. The highest marketable yield (maingrade plus large tubers) resulted from the 22-cm in-row spacing. The total number of tubers harvested and the number of maingrade tubers increased between 75 and 85 DAP, but did not increase substantially after 85 DAP. Chip color and the incidence of hollow heart were not significantly affected by harvest date. Key words: Potato, population, spacing, harvest date, hollow heart, chip color

Abstract Kudzu is spreading in the South and control measures are required on large acreages. Control can be accomplished by persistent applications of effective herbicides or by overgrazing for two to three years. Soil-active herbicides containing the active ingredients picloram or dicamba are presently most effective. Herbicide sprays should be applied in a mixture with 60 to 100 gallons of water per acre; complete coverage is best achieved with double application and right-angle spray passes when using ground equipment. Repeated applications are usually required to kill every root crown. The tender nature of kudzu leaves and the large tuber roots make kudzu difficult to control.

SUMMARYThe progression of sprouting was observed in water-yam (Dioscorea alata) and whiteyam (D. rotundata) tuber pieces planted in moist sawdust. Soon after planting, white callus-like protuberances (sprouting loci) were seen on the tuber surface, followed by the appearance of one or more differentiated shoot buds on the sprouting locus. Sprouting loci appeared more readily on the upper and lower parts of each tuber piece than on the sides. Large tuber pieces sprouted more rapidly, had larger and more numerous sprouting loci, and gave rise to more shoot buds than small tuber pieces.Anatomical examination showed that the shoot bud resulted from the activity of a layer of meristematic cells lying close to the tuber surface. Extensive cell divisions commenced in this layer after planting, and some of the resulting cells soon differentiated into the shoot bud.
