• 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…

  The Center for Tropical Roots and Starches (CERAT) is a Research Center of the São Paulo State University (UNESP) that develops researches with botanical species that present rhizomes, storage roots, and tubers, as well as with plant species that represent diverse sources of starches and have application in various industrial sectors. CERAT's research lines are based on three main areas: …

• Abstract

  The use of plant growth regulators in potato crop (Solanum tuberosum L.) associated with nitrogen (N) management may be an alternative to increase tuber yield. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertilization and application rates of calcium prohexadione on plant growth, photoassimilate partition, and tuber yield of the Agata potato cultivar. Two experiments will …

• 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…
