Summary: Enhance treatment increased the number of U.S. #1s by 27 cwt/acre and overall yield by 31 cwt/acre. Application: 1 gallon per acre of Enhance foliar applied at tuber initiation, on July 13th, and again on August 7th. Fertilizer Application: 350 lb./A 18-46-00 and 100 lb./A of Calcium sulfate applied through the planter, 30 gal./A of 32% liquid Nitrogen at ...
Key Difference between Lateral Move Irrigation and Centre Pivot Sprinklers, and What to Consider when Buying Lateral move irrigation systems, similar to center pivots, are a great solution for large fields. While center pivots rotate around a fixed point, laterals move continuously along the field’s length. This self-propelled design covers nearly 98% of the field area uniformly. The ...
Potato farmers in Cerro Punta Volcán, Chiriquí, Panama, added AZOMITE to a 12-24 12 NPK fertilizer program in quantities of 53 lb/ac and 71 lb/ac and compared yields to a control field using solely NPK for 28 days. The results showed a favorable cost benefit via an increase in salable yield with ...
Alistair Neill, a Prime Agriculture potato agronomist based in Norfolk, shares his four essential tips on getting potato crops off to the best start possible, beginning with ensuring good crop establishment.1. Cut back on cultivations Soil compaction can jeopardise potato establishment and yield because it restricts root growth, ...
INTRODUCTION: CROP AREA ESTIMATION The two components of agricultural production estimation are crop area and yield estimation. In order to estimate yield, Producers generally measure the amount of a particular crop harvested in a sample area to estimate crop yield. ...
The main challenge for farmers at the end of the tuber initiation phase is to achieve a high number of tubers above 15 mm. Any tubers that do not reach this size shrink and disappear. The main challenge after the tuber initiation phase is to optimise the reserves and obtain a maximum of marketable ...
Controlled release fertilizers, especially polymer-coated urea (PCU), have been shown to reduce nitrate (NO3) leaching while maintaining potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) yields, but cost has been prohibitive. A new type of PCU (Environmentally Smart Nitrogen, Agrium, Inc., Calgary, AB) is less costly than previous PCUs, but its effectiveness on ...
The goal of this project was to assess potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) yield and quality response to soil compaction and subsoil tillage. Potato quality factors evaluated were marketable yield, tuber size distribution, internal quality, and sugar concentration. ...
Therefore, field trials were conducted to determine if potato (Solanum tubersum L.) vegetative growth and tuber yield and quality were affected by herbicides at below recommended field rates. ...
European corn borer (ECB) [Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner)] (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is known to infest Irish potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) but only causes economic damage during the first generation in East Coast potato producing areas. However, in Nebraska, second generation ECB infest potato plants during the bulking period and may reduce ...
