Alternative methods for producing prebasic potato (Solanum tuberosum, L.) seed
Main Article Content
Abstract
important aspect to obtain healthy seed; therefore, the main
systems used were in vitro multiplication culture or
micropropagation and accelerated multiplication techniques,
including cuttings as alternatives to reduce the investment
costs when producing seed-tubers. Accelerated techniques
are a commonly used alternative in prebasic seed potato
programme; apparently, they can increase investment, but it is
possible to obtain more tuber yields due to successive
multiplications. This research work was aimed at proposing an
alternative method linked to the actual system, enbling to reduce
production costs. This paper analyzes in vitro plant
density, multiplication rate and plant yields in mother plants
and in their offsprings. After all, it is concluded that it is possible
to plant up to three vitroplants per tube and five stem cuttings
in mother plants, increasing tuber number.
