“…The SLA for potato depends on the cultivar and growth stage, and temperature [42], which was confirmed in the present study. Early foliar expansion of potato is associated with a strong increase in SLA [41].…”

“…If potato LAI exceeds 3, the intercepted photosynthetically active radiation value changes very little [39,40]. According to Howlader and Hoque [41], irrespective of potato cultivars, LAI increased progressively over time, reaching a peak at 60 days after planting and thereafter declining. The rate of assimilation area expansion showed the interaction between genotype and environment and varied by year [42], which was confirmed in the present study.…”

This paper analyses the effects of foliar application of the seaweed extracts Bio-algeen S90 (Ascophyllum nodosum) and Kelpak SL (Ecklonia maxima), as well as the humic and fulvic acids ini HumiPlant (leonardite extract), on the assimilation area and chlorophyll content of very early potato cultivars (‘Denar’, ‘Lord’, Miłek’). The field experiment was carried out in central-eastern Poland over three growing seasons, using Luvisol. The biostimulants were applied according to the manufacturers’ recommendations. The use of biostimulants resulted in enlargement of the assimilation area, but had no effect on the specific leaf area (SLA) or chlorophyll content (Soil Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) value). The assimilation area was larger, on average, by 0.0505 m2 and leaf area index (LAI) was higher by 0.30 compared with the plants from the control group without a biostimulant. The SLA and SPAD depend on the cultivar and weather conditions, or nitrogen and magnesium content in soil, to a greater extent. The biostimulants enhanced abiotic stress tolerance and increased marketable tuber yield (diameter above 30 mm) 75 days after planting (the end of June), on average by 2.15 t·ha−1. Bio-algeen S90 and Keplak SL produced better results in a warm and very wet growing season, whereas HumiPlant produced better results in a year with lower air temperature and with drought periods during potato growth. No correlations were found between the tuber yield and assimilation area or between the tuber yield and SPAD value, although a significant negative correlation was found between the tuber yield and SLA.

“…In addition, potato plants respond very sensitively to weather changes during vegetation, which may cause the fall or growth of new leaves. Leaf area index (LAI) describes the growth in lowland fields, and increases progressively over time, reaching its maximum at 60 days after potato planting and declining after that time point [37,38]. In the present study, the silicon-based (Na 2 SiO 3 ) biostimulant Optysil caused an increase in tuber number and tuber weight per plant under water deficit in 2016 and 2018 seasons.…”

As silicon induces abiotic stress tolerance in crop plants, it was hypothesized that foliar silicon application could improve potato growth in an early crop culture. The effect of dosage (0.25 dm3·ha−1 or 0.50 dm3·ha−1) and time (the leaf development stage, BBCH 14–16, tuber initiation stage, BBCH 40–41, or both the leaf development stage and tuber initiation stage) of application of the silicon-based biostimulant Optysil (200 g SiO2 and 24 g Fe in 1 dm3) on potato growth was investigated. Optysil caused an increase in plant height and above-ground plant biomass, enlarged leaf area and decreased leaf weight ratio (LWR), and, as a result, increased tuber number and tuber weight per plant. The effect of Optysil depended on a water deficit during potato growth. The average tuber weight per plant in the cultivation treated with Optysil was higher by 23% under periodic water deficits during potato growth, and by 13% under drought conditions, than in the cultivation without the biostimulant. Dosage of Optysil had a significant effect on above-ground plant biomass and leaf area in the warm and arid growing season. Under drought stress, Optysil at 0.50 dm3·ha−1 stimulated potato growth more than at 0.25 dm3·ha−1. Under periodic water deficits during potato growth, the time of Optysil application affected potato growth more than the biostimulant dosage. The plants produced greater above-ground biomass and had a larger leaf area with two Optysil applications; one in the initial plant growth period (BBCH 14–16), and a repeated treatment in the tuber initiation stage (BBCH 40–41). The tuber weight per plant was positively correlated with the plant height, above-ground plant biomass, leaf area, and LWR.

“…These three potato cultivars are developed in Holland and Germany (Gregoriou et al, 1997). Exotic origin of these three potato cultivars would be one of the reasons for this observed high susceptibility to S. litura under prevailing climatic conditions of Punjab, Pakistan (Abbasi et al, 2004;Howlader and Hoque, 2018). As S. litura is endemic to South Asian regions (EPPO, 2015), successful exploitation of exotic host plants by native insect pests may be associated with the fitness cost including reduced feeding potential on ancestral native host plants and differential plant chemistries of exotic and native plant genotypes (Atijegbe et al, 2020).…”

P otato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the major staple food crops in the world and is rich in nutrients, particularly in potassium, vitamin C and dietary fiber. It is regarded as fourth most imperative food crop, after maize, wheat and rice cultivation in Pakistan (Majeed and Muhammad, 2018). It is cultivated on an area of about 0.18 million hectares with an annual production of 3.8 million tons sharing about 27 and 40% of the area and production of vegetables in the country (Khan et al., 2020). Punjab province is the leading potato producing area followed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Baluchistan and Sindh (GOP, 2017). In Punjab province, districts Okara, Sahiwal, Pakpatan, Chiniot and Khanewal are the major potato growing areas.Although Pakistan is self-sufficient in potato production, the country is far behind than other potato Abstract | Leafworm Spodoptera litura Fabricius is a highly polyphagous pest of food, forage, vegetable and horticultural crops. This sporadic species is becoming an emerging threat to the potato crop in central Punjab and is being evidenced infesting potato crop in Sargodha, Faisalabad and Okara districts. This in-vitro study assessed the comparative feeding preference, food consumption and utilization rates and larval development of S. litura on different white and red skinned potato cultivars. Feeding bioassays revealed that all parameters including leaf weight loss, larval weight gain, relative food consumption and growth rates and conversion efficiency of the ingested food were statistically significant (P ≤ 0.05). Exotic potato cultivars Diamant, Desiree and Asterix exhibited maximum leaf consumption and larval weight gain (i.e. 264.61, 259.37 and 233.01 mg and 121.46, 120.17, 120.13 mg, respectively) concomitantly with maximum values of relative growth rate (RGR), relative consumption rate (RCR) and ingested food conversion efficiency (ECI). Cultivars Lady Rosetta, Cardinal, Ajax, Kuroda and Sante exhibited intermediate values. Minimum feeding preference and susceptibility to S. litura was shown by the native potato cultivars Faisalabad Red and Faisalabad White with minimum food consumption, larval weight gain, RGR, RCR and ECI values, and hence are recommended to indigenous potato growers for commercial cultivation in areas where S. litura threatens potato crop.
