Abstract:

This paper presents the results of the two-year study of the impact of the size of the planting material on yield and other productive features of the potato around Niksic (Zupa).

The highest yield was obtained in experiments by planting potatoes’ large fraction (> 55 mm) - 32,6 t / ha, while the smallest was measured in plots where a small fraction was planted (28-35 mm) - 23.8 t / ha.

All tested fractions of plant material, compared to the fraction 28-35 mm, gave significantly higher yields of tuber.

28-35 mm fraction potatoes gave the largest average tuber (117 g) and differences established in comparison with other variants are marked very important.Number of primary potatoe shoots, as well as their height grew as size of tuber planted increased.

Keywords:

potato, the size of planting material, the average weight of tuber, yield.
