EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT TILLAGE PRACTICES ON POTATO PLANT

Öz

Tillage is one of factors influencing the obtaining of maximum crop in plant production. Potato is considered as a sensitive plant to tillage compared to other most plants. This property results from tuber formation under soil. In general, root and tuber development of potato plants grown in compacted soils are restrained and tuber yield and size decreases. Consequently, tillage is not likely to be eliminated entirely. Soil and climate conditions as well as the objectives expected from tillage must be considered in selecting a suitable method of tillage.

DEĞİŞİK TOPRAK İŞLEME TEKNİKLERİNİN PATATES BİTKİSİ ÜZERİNE ETKİLERİ

Öz

Toprak işleme, bitki üretiminde yüksek miktarda ürünün alınmasını etkileyen faktörlerden birisi olarak bilinir. Patates bitkisi diğer birçok kültür bitkisine oranla toprak işlemeye karşı daha duyarlı bir bitkidir. Patatesin bu özelliği yumrularını toprak altında oluşturmasından kaynaklanmaktadır. Genel olarak işlenmemiş sıkışık özellik arz eden topraklarda yetiştirilen patates bitkilerinde kök ve yumru gelişmesi engellenmekte, yumru verimi ve yumru büyüklüğü düşmektedir. Bu nedenle patates tarımında toprak işlemenin tamamen kaldırılması düşünülemez. Ancak toprak işleme sisteminin seçiminde toprak ve iklim koşulları ve toprak işlemeden beklenilen amaçlar da göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
