| dc.description.abstract | In this study, the influence of meteorological factors
and soil moisture on the water status of the potato crop was
ivestigated. The study was carried out at Kabete Field Station,
Kabete Campus on three potato cultivars, Desiree Tana and B53.
The experiments were carried out; in the first one, during early
1922, the plants were grown out in the field. In the second
experiment carried out during the later part of 1982, the plants
were grown in plastic bags but were kept outside in the open.
soil moisture contents, soil temperatures, stomatal diffusive
resistance, leaf temperature, air temperature, relative humidity
wnds-speeds, radiation and evaporation data were obtained during
the course of both these experiments. The following are
some of the results obtained as a result of this study:…………………………………………………………………. | |
