Planting seed tubers with a high incidence of secondary (tuber borne) PLRV or PVY infection can result in yield losses exceeding 50–80% (Beemster and de Bokx, 1987). Primary infection (current season) with either PLRV or most PVY strains tends to have little effect on tuber yield. ...
The results in Fig.6show variability in the R2values obtained for the relationship between tuber yield and VIs as the number of days after planting increased from 35 – 95 DAP. The highest median R2values were observed between 36 – 55 DAP. These findings suggest that the optimal growth stag...
Potatoes are an important crop in Mediterranean countries both for local consumption and for export to other countries, mainly during the winter. Many Mediterranean countries import certified seed potato in addition to their own seed production. The local seeds are mainly used for planting in the au...

The maximum temperature in some areas in the Limpopo Province (i.e Lephalale, and Thohoyandou) can be as high as 30 °C to 31 °C in summer planting season (https://en.climate-data.org/location/26819/; https://www.worldweatgeronline.com/thohoyandou-weather-averages/limpopo/za.aspx). ...
Depending on the cultivar, potatoes can grow up to 3.5 feet tall; therefore, earthing up is also recommended 30 days after planting. Potato is a cool climate-loving crop and does not perform well at high temperatures [9,10]. Sunny days and cool nights provide a better crop growth ...
