Abstract

[Truncated] Increasing Australia’s export of seed potatoes requires information about the production of small seed which does not require cutting. Cutting increases the incidence of disease in tropical countries and this substantially reduces yield. The response of five potato cultivars suitable for tropical conditions to different period of cool storage, the application of gibberellic acid and cutting was investigated. In the first experiment, seed tubers of Atlantic were stored for 10-30 weeks and in the second experiment, Dawmor, Eben, KT3 and PO3 were stored for 16 and 26 weeks. Sprouting was assessed (after 2weeks at 20°C, 80-90% RH) and then tubers were grown in a glasshouse. Atlantic broke dormancy at 16 weeks, PO3 and Eben before 16 weeks, Dawmor and KT4 after 16 weeksbut before 26 weeks.
