Effect of Planting Method on Growth, Yield and Quality of Three Irish Potato (Solanum tuberosum) Varieties Grown in Zimbabwe

Robert Mangani, Upenyu Mazarura, Abduel Mtaita Tuarira & Admire Shayanowako · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2016

The planting methods currently used by Irish potato farmers were optimized for old varieties more than three decades ago. No such work has since been done regardless of the newer varieties that have been introduced since then. Hence, an experiment was conducted to investigate the...
