Potato and Tuber Crops

Use of Plant Growth Regulators

• Soaking of potato seed tuber in CCC at 500 mg/l or foliar sprays with ethephon at 400 mg/l (Murti and Banerjee, 1978, Sekhon and Singh, 1985),
• CCC at 25 mg/l or garlic acid at 10-100 mg/l(Kumar and Agarwal, 1978) increased tuber yield.
• Sidda Reddy (1988) also obtained higher tuber yield with foliar sprays of mixtallol at 1 or 2 mg/l.
