Abstract

The aim of the study was to describe the influence of meteorological factors during the vegetation period on the occurrence of tuber growth cracks and tuber deformations in the potato yield cultivated in light sandy soil. We conducted an evaluation of the potato cultivars with regard to occurrence of the tubers with these defects. In this study we used data on the share of tubers with growth cracks and tuber deformations in cultivars of different maturity groups. The tubers were collected during the experiments conducted in Potato Agronomy Department IHAR, in 2001–2011. Field trials were performed in light sandy-clay or clay soils. In all tested years, standardized and very similar agrotechnical treatments were applied. That way we could assume that the main source of variance in tuber deformations are the meteorological conditions in each year. The analyses of relationships between the meteorological factors in subsequent tuber growth phases and the occurrence of tuber deformations in cultivars of different maturity groups showed that the critical period for occurrence of tubers deformations was from full flowering to the end of flowering, that is during the early intensive phase of tuber growth. A strong relationship was found between the mean soil temperature and Sielianinow coefficient in this period and the occurrence of tuber deformations in all maturity groups of potato cultivars. Moreover, the relationship was found between total rainfall and the occurrence of tuber growth cracks in the final phase of plants’ growth. There was a significant relationship between the total rainfall and Sielianinow coefficient in the period of plants’ senescence and the occurrence of tuber growth cracks. The analyses showed that the cultivars of the same maturity are significantly different in response to environmental conditions expressed by the presence of potato tubers with defects.
