“…Precise irrigation of potato has been closely related to many tuber quality attributes (Shock et al, 2007a). The ideal irrigation criteria for potato on silt loam is often wetter (25 to 30 kPa) where drip irrigation is applied frequently (Kang et al, 2004;Shock et al, 2002c;Wang et al, 2007b) than where sprinkler or furrow irrigations systems are used (50 to 60 kPa) (Eldredge et al, 1992(Eldredge et al, , 1996Shock et al, 1993Shock et al, , 1998bShock et al, , 2003Shock et al, , 2007a.

A fundamental way to schedule irrigation is through the monitoring and management of soil water tension (SWT). Soil water tension is the force necessary for plant roots to extract water from the soil. With the invention of tensiometers, SWT measurements have been used to schedule irrigation. There are different types of field instruments used to measure SWT, either directly or indirectly. Precise irrigation scheduling by SWT criteria is a powerful method to optimize plant performance. Specific SWT criteria for irrigation scheduling have been developed to optimize the production and quality of vegetable crops, field crops, trees, shrubs, and nursery crops. This review discusses known SWT criteria for irrigation scheduling that vary from 2 to 800 kPa depending on the crop species, plant product to be optimized, environmental conditions, and irrigation system. By using the ideal SWT and adjusting irrigation duration and amount, it is possible to simultaneously achieve high productivity and meet environmental stewardship goals for water use and reduced leaching.

“…The new cultivars Umatilla Russet and Russet Legend are much less susceptible to sugar ends than Russet Burbank (Mosley et al 2000a,b). Umatilla Russet is more subject to loss of yield following water stress than Russet Burbank and Legend Russet is at least as susceptible to water stress induced yield losses as Russet Burbank (Shock et al 2003). No research has been conducted to determine if the ability to produce and transport assimilates under stress conditions also imparts resistance to sugar ends.…”

Review Of The Sugar End Disorder In Potato (Solanum tuberosum, L.)

et al. 2008

Processing quality has become increasingly important to the potato industry. A serious defect in product quality is the physiological disorder known as sugar ends, also referred to as dark ends, jelly ends, translucent ends, and/or glassy ends. Symptoms of the most common type of sugar end include relatively low starch and high sugar content in the basal end of the tuber. Tubers with the sugar end disorder produce French fries that are dark on one end, making the fries unacceptable to consumers. Sugar end potatoes cause time and profit losses at the processing plant and may require blending of loads to meet product specifications, along with the need to change processing protocols. Sugar end can be costly to growers if the tubers have insufficient quality and the crop is rejected for processing. Conditions conducive to the development of sugar ends include high soil temperatures, transitory soil moisture deficits, and insufficient or excess nitrogen fertilization. Tubers are most sensitive to these stresses during early bulking. Historically, several theories have been proposed concerning the mechanism of sugar end development. Research shows that stressed plants produce adequate amounts of assimilate to support continued tuber growth, but accumulate large amounts of sucrose in the basal tissues of the tuber immediately following stress. Accumulated evidence suggests that heat stress and water deficit induce changes in the activities of certain key carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes shifting the tuber from a starch synthesizing function to one of starch mobilization. Genetic resistance to sugar end development is known and the identified traits are highly heritable. This review summarizes sugar end investigations to-date, and presents a list of research-based crop management recommendations that assist potato producers in minimizing the potential for sugar end development in the field.Resumen La calidad de procesamiento de papa se ha vuelto cada vez más importante para la industria. Un defecto serio en la calidad del producto es el desorden fisiológico conocido como punta azucarada, referido también como punta oscura, punta translúcida y/o punta vítrea. Los síntomas de los tipos más comunes de punta azucarada incluyen bajo contenido relativo de almidón y alto contenido de azúcar en el extremo basal del tubérculo. Los tubérculos con punta azucarada producen papas fritas que tienen un extremo oscuro, haciendo la fritura inaceptable para los consumidores. Las papas con extremo azucarado causan pérdida de tiempo y ganancias a la planta procesadora y puede requerir la mezcla de lotes de papa para satisfacer las especificaciones del producto, además de de la necesidad de cambiar los protocolos de procesamiento. La punta azucarada Am. puede ser costosa para los productores si los tubérculos son de calidad insuficiente y el cultivo es rechazado para procesamiento. Las condiciones que conducen al desarrollo de este desorden incluyen altas temperaturas del suelo, deficiencia transitoria de agua e insuficiencia o exceso de ...

This study was conducted to determine the energy consumption and the relationship between energy input and yield for drip‐irrigated potato under Middle Anatolian climatic conditions in Konya, Turkey. Also, the specific amount of energy consumed in irrigation was determined for both surface water and ground water sources. The experiment was carried out during the growing periods of 2008 and 2009. The results showed that total energy inputs were 63,222 MJ ha−1. About 62% of the total energy inputs in potato production were found to be indirect energy (seeds, fertilizers, chemicals, machinery, and polyethylene pipe) and 38% was direct energy (human labor, electricity, and diesel). Irrigation consumed the most energy, accounting for 43.8% of total energy inputs. Amongst the direct energy inputs, irrigation had the maximum share of direct energy viz. 15,473 MJ ha−1, which was almost 65% of direct energy input. Specific energy consumption of a drip irrigation system that takes water from surface and ground water sources was found to be 1.85 and 2.53 MJ m−3 respectively. When the per unit volume of irrigation water was applied to the field, the specific energy consumption of drip systems was higher for ground water than surface water sources, and the difference between those systems was about 37%. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 35: 212–220, 2016
