• Abstract

  Balanced nitrogen (N) supply is essential for high root yield in sweet potatoes (Ipomoea potatoes [L.] Lam.). A portable chlorophyll meter can support N fertilization management. Here, we deter-mined the appropriate N sufficiency index (NSI) for sweet potato leaves to achieve the best leaf N status, plant growth, N uptake and removal, and storage root yield and quality. Experiments were c…

• Abstract

  The balanced nitrogen (N) supply for sweet potato (Ipomoea potatoes (L.) Lam.) is essential to obtain high yields. This study aims to evaluate the growth, yield, nutrient uptake and removal by sweetpotato in response to N fertilization management using a chlorophyll meter. For this purpose, it is sought to establish the best N sufficiency index (NSI) and N rate for sweetpotato fertilizati…

• Abstract

  Phosphorus (P) is one of the most difficult nutrients for plants to acquire because of its low concentration in the soil solution. Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) has a thick and sparse absorbent root system; therefore, it is dependent on its association with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) for P acquisition from the soil. Thus, inoculation of cassava with AMF can improve the develo…

• Abstract

  Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is vegetatively propagated by stem cuttings and has a low multiplication rate (5-10 stem cuttings plant-1 year-1). This method facilitates the exchange of stem cuttings between producers, but increases the transmission of pathogens and makes transport logistics difficult. The use of artificial seeds can be an alternative to solve these difficulties. The …

• Abstract

  Nitrogen (N) is the second most taken-up nutrient by sweet potatoes (Ipomoea potatoes). Low N supply limits sweet potato yields, but oversupply increases vegetative growth and reduces storage root yield. Therefore, a balanced supply of N for sweet potatoes is essential to obtain high root yields. This work aims to evaluate the nutritional status and yield of sweet potatoes in response to …

• Abstract

  In recent years the area of production of sweet potato (Ipomoea potatoes L.) has increased considerably, and there is an optimistic forecast of growth of this crop in Brazil. Despite the versatility of sweet potato uses, its main form of consumption is still the fresh market in the form of cooked and baked dishes. However, the production of sweet potato chips is a reality in Brazil that i…
