“…The biggest change was between the second and third sampling dates. Maier et al (2002b) sampled the fifth leaf from the terminal (on two or three dates in separate experiments) and showed a similar seasonal decline in leaf P. Only in 2003 did we find a declining pattern in petiole P that followed the general results of these experiments. Freeman et al studied two cultivars over 3 years and they did find increases in petiole P between the third and fourth sampling dates in 1 year for both of the Russet Burbank treatments receiving P fertilizer.…”

A 3 year field study on a loamy sand soil with medium to high soil test phosphorus (P) concentrations (25 to 33 mg kg −1 Bray P1) was conducted to evaluate the effect of P fertilizer rate, source, and timing, and starter nitrogen (N) rate on potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Russet Burbank) yield, tuber size, tuber set, petiole P concentration, and P uptake and distribution within the plant. Nine fertilizer treatments compared banded P rates of 0, 37, 42, and 74 kg P ha −1 , the P sources monoammonium phosphate (MAP) and diammonium phosphate (DAP), P banded at planting vs. split applications at planting and emergence, and starter N rates of 38 and 66 kg N ha −1 . Phosphorus fertilizer application increased total tuber yield and yield of undersized tubers (tubers less than 85 g), but decreased the proportion of large-sized tubers (greater than 285 g). Due to the increases in small, unmarketable tubers, P fertilizer application did not have a significant effect on marketable tuber yield (tubers greater than 85 g). The total number of tubers per plant and the number of undersized tubers were also higher, and the number of large tubers was lower, when P was applied compared with the zero P control. Both the number and yield of undersized tubers increased as P application rate increased. Petiole P concentrations were generally consistent with the rate of P applied, but they varied by year in magnitude and their pattern through the season. Petiole P was positively correlated with the number of tubers per plant, but only correlated for 1 year with differences in total yield. Phosphorus application increased total P uptake due primarily to an increase in tuber P concentration.Increases in total uptake and tuber P increased as P application rate increased, but differences in uptake were small relative to the amounts of P applied. Phosphorus source and timing and starter N rate did not consistently affect tuber yield, number, or size, petiole or tuber P concentration, and P uptake. The results of this study indicate that P nutrition can play an important role in regulating tuber set.Resumen Un estudio de campo en suelo arcillo-arenoso, con concentraciones mediana a alta de fósforo (P) (25 a 33 mg kg −1 Bray P1) se realizó durante tres años para evaluar el efecto de dosis de fertilizante, fuentes de P, control del tiempo y dosis inicial de nitrógeno (N) con papa (Solanum tuberosun L. cv. Russet Burbank) sobre el rendimiento, tamaño del tubérculo, número de tubérculos por planta, concentración de P en el pecíolo y absorción de P y su distribución dentro de la planta. Nueve tratamientos con fertilizantes compararon el P aplicado en bandas a las dosis de 0, 37, 42 y 74 kg P ha −1 , las fuentes de fosfato mono amónico (MAP) y fosfato di amónico (DAP), el P aplicado a la siembra con aplicaciones divididas a la siembra y a la emergencia y dosis de inicio de N de 38 y 66 kg N ha −1 . La aplicación de fertilizante con fósforo aumentó el rendimiento total de tubérculos y de tubérculos pequeños (menos de 85 g), pero disminuyó la propo...

“…Values followed by the same letter in the same row are not significantly different (P < 0.05) according to the LSD test ns not statistically significant; £ P < 0.1; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01 1978) for aerial (3.5-1.0 g kg −1 DM) and tuber (4.2-1.5 g kg −1 DM) fractions of potato plants grown under different soil P availability conditions. The increase in tuber P concentration with the application of P fertilizers has also been reported by other researchers (Maier et al 2002;Sanderson et al 2003;Rosen and Bierman 2008;Mendoza-Cortez et al 2013;Fernandes et al 2015), with the magnitude varying according to the edaphic characteristics and the cultivars used. As a result of the decrease in the P concentration in aerial and tuber fractions associated with the dilution effect, the P concentration in the TB decreased for all the treatments as the growing season progressed from 40 to 100 DAP, with values ranging from 4.6 to 1.1 g kg −1 DM ( Table 4).…”

Plant diagnostic methods to determine P deficiencies need the definition of a critical concentration value which represents the minimum P concentration required to achieve maximum growth. The critical P concentration (Pc) has not been determined for potato. We designed a five years experiment with the objective of using the relationship between P concentrations and total dry matter (TB) yield to determine and validated the Pc, expressed as a function of TB. The Pc was described by the model: 3.919*TB -0.304 where total biomass (TB) ranged from 1 to 16 Mg ha −1 . The P nutritional index (PNI), which is the ratio between the measured whole plant P concentration and Pc, was associated with the relative tuber yield measured at harvest. The results from this study support the use of PNI from 60 to 80 days after planting to determine potato crop P nutritional status.Resumen Los métodos de diagnóstico en plantas para determinar las deficiencias en P necesitan la definición de un valor de concentración crítica, el cual representa la concentración mínima de P requerida para alcanzar el máximo crecimiento. La concentración crítica de P (Pc) no ha sido determinada para papa. Nosotros diseñamos un experimento de cinco años con el objetivo de utilizar la relación entre las concentraciones de P y el peso total del rendimiento de materia seca (TB) para determinar y validar la Pc, expresada como una función de TB. Se describió a la Pc por el modelo: 3.919*TB -0.304, en donde la biomasa total (TB) fluctuó de 1 a 16 Mg ha −1 . El índice nutricional de P (PNI), que es la proporción entre la medida de la concentración de P de la planta completa y la Pc, se asoció con el rendimiento relativo de tubérculo, cuantificado a la cosecha. Los resultados de este estudio respaldan el uso de PNI de 60 a 80 días después de la siembra para determinar el estatus nutricional del P del cultivo de papa.

“…The P rates influenced, separately, only the N concentration in leaves, providing increased concentration until the estimated rate of 121 mg dm -3 P (Table 2). This increase in leaf N concentration occurred because the P fertilization increases the N concentration in the potato leaves (MAIER et al, 2002) and the amounts of N taken up by the plants (MUNDA et al, 2015;FERNANDES, 2016), due to the fact of P interacts with N uptake (FAGERIA, 2001). At the lower P rates, the N concentration in leaves was deficient, but at the higher P rates, they were within the range considered adequate by Lorenzi et al (1997) (40-50 g kg -1 N), indicating that P fertilization also improved the N nutrition of the potato plants (Table 2).…”

-Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a nutritionally demanding crop, and phosphorus (P) is a nutrient that exerts a large effect on tuber yield. However, as the availability of P is influenced by soil texture, there are doubts about how P supplementation affects the growth and yield of potato plants in different soil textures. Thus, here we aimed to evaluate the effect of P fertilization and soil texture on the nutrition, growth, tuber yield, and P use efficiency (PUE) of potato plants. The experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions in a randomized block design with a 4×2 factorial scheme and five replications. The treatments were represented by four P rates (10, 50, 100, and 200 mg dm -3 P) and two soil textures (clayey and sandy). The concentrations of P, Ca, and Mg in the leaves were higher in sandy soil, and P rates increased the concentrations of N, P, and Ca in the leaves of potato plants. Phosphorus fertilization increased plant growth, the amount of P accumulated in the shoot, and tuber yield in both soils; this trend was stronger in the potato cultivated in the clayey soil than in the sandy soil. The applied-PUE was not affected by soil texture. In the potato cultivated in the sandy soil, the taken up-PUE was reduced due to the decrease in dry matter production and an increase in P concentration in the organs of the plant with higher P fertilizer rates.Keywords: Solanum tuberosum. Sandy soil. Clayey soil. Dry matter. Phosphorus accumulation.ADUBAÇÃO FOSFATADA E TEXTURA DO SOLO INFLUENCIAM NA PRODUTIVIDADE DA BATATA RESUMO -A batata (Solanum tuberosum L.) é uma cultura nutricionalmente exigente e o fósforo (P) é um dos nutrientes que exerce grande efeito sobre a produtividade de tubérculos. Porém, como a disponibilidade de P é influenciada pela textura do solo, existem dúvidas de como o fornecimento de P afeta o crescimento e a produtividade das plantas de batata em solos de texturas diferentes. Assim, objetivou-se com esta pesquisa avaliar o efeito da adubação fosfatada e da textura do solo na nutrição, crescimento, produtividade e eficiência de uso (EU) do P das plantas de batata. O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação no delineamento de blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 4×2, com cinco repetições. Os tratamentos foram representados por quatro doses de P (10, 50, 100 e 200 mg dm -3 P) e duas texturas de solo (argiloso e arenoso). Os teores foliares de P, Ca e Mg foram maiores no solo arenoso e as doses de P aumentaram os teores de N, P e Ca nas folhas. A adubação fosfatada aumentou o crescimento das plantas, a quantidade de P acumulada na parte aérea e a produtividade de tubérculos em ambos os solos, porém, de forma mais expressiva e até maiores doses na batata cultivada no solo argiloso. A EU do P aplicado não foi afetada pela textura do solo. Na batata cultivada no solo arenoso, a EU do P absorvido foi reduzida em função da diminuição na produção de MS e aumento nos teores de P nos órgãos da planta com fornecimento de altas doses de P.Palavras-chave: Solanum tuberosum. ...
