RESEARCH CONCERNING THE STRORAGE CONDITIONS UPON POTATO STOLONIZATION AND TUBERIZATION

Abstract

The researchers conducted within the vegetation house of UASVM Cluj-Napocaaimed to observe the reaction of potato stolonization and tuberization to storage conditions ofnormal temperature (2 - 4°C) and higher temperature, in which case sprouts emerge; in the secondcase, during the 6 - 7 months of storage, the sprouts are broken twice, following a third generationof sprouts which will evolve into tuber producing plants. The number of tubers and stolons wasobserved at 20 and 45 days from plant emergence. The total number of tubers formed at 45 daysfrom emergence was considered the total number of tubers/plant.
