  4. 8. Growth and phosphorus uptake of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in an alkaline soil as affected by mineral nitrogen forms and inoculation with phosphate-solubilizing bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Kristina Weimers; [2017]
    Keywords : alkaline soil; ammonium chloride; ammonium nitrate; ammonium sulphate; AMF; Bacillus megaterium; Solanum tuberosum L; P deficiency; potassium nitrate; Rhizophagus irregularis;

    Abstract : In soils with relatively high pH (pH > 7), potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) and other phosphorus (P) demanding crops might suffer from P deficiency despite P fertilization and significant reserves of P in the soil. Also, a high risk for P deficiency for potatoes may be expected when the soil is cold and the root system undeveloped. READ MORE

    Keywords : potato; Dickeya solani; susceptibility gene; blackleg;

    Abstract : Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a staple crop across Europe, including Sweden. Among the reasons why it is so ubiquitous is its fairly easy cultivation, good adaptability to various climates, and high nutritional value. Today’s potato production is based on disease-free seed tubers. However, this technology often proves to be insufficient. READ MORE
