Changes in seed tubers after planting

Abstract

The changes after planting in weight and dry matter content of seed tubers were studied. The weight was found to increase after planting owing to uptake of water from the soil. The dry matter content decreased rather rapidly. The changes in weight varied within wide limits for individual tubers, showing great differences in water uptake between the tubers. These differences were also demonstrated in a soaking experiment. The variation in water uptake between tubers could partly be explained by variations in the soil but the variation between the seed tubers seemed to be more important.
