Evaluation of the onset of grelation and weight loss in nine potato clones under the conditions of the La Cristalina Experimental Field Trujillo-Venezuela

Abstract

One of the main problems that the potato producer has is knowing when the sprouting of the tubers begins, whether to be used as seed or for consumption, with this it is feasible to prolong the storage period and optimize their marketing, allowing them to expect better prices. by the producers. Sprouting will depend on many factors such as: the variety, size of the tuber and growing conditions of the crop. Prior to sprouting, the tubers go through a process of dormancy or rest, a state in which the buds or sprouts are inactive.
