THE EFFECT OF FLOWER REMOVAL ON POTATO TUBER YIELD

Abstract

Relationships between fruit and vegetative growth may influence tuber yield. In 1987, flower removal significantly increased yield at irrigated and dryland sites for the potato clone ND860-2. In 1988, flower removal did not significantly increase yield in Norchip, ND2008-2 or ND860-2 planted under dryland conditions. Response to flower removal appears to be dependent on environmental conditions.Key words: Solarium tuberosum, tuber yield, flower removal, potato, ND860-2, partitioning
