Terminal and axillary buds of Liatris corms require cold treatment for flower induction and release from dormancy. The terminal and a few axillary buds closest to the terminal one develop into flower buds after chilling. ...
Some parameters of potato growth as influenced by soil water potential and soil temperature.
(University of Nairobi, 1982)
Two varieties of potato were grown and their yields related to leaf area duration (LAD) and net assimilation ratio (NAR). Kerrs Pink Yielded 25.1 t/ha of tubers with a maturation period of 10.5 weeks while Anett matured ...
