EVALUATION OF THE PRODUCTIVE POTENTIAL OF SOME EARLY POTATO GENOTYPES ON THE SANDY SOILS OF SOUTHERN OLTENIA

Abstract

In the 2024 agricultural year, research was carried out on the productive potential of some potato lines for early consumption compared to the production obtained with the Redsec and Ervant variety, in the conditions of the sandy soils of SCDCPN Dăbuleni. The potato lines taken in the study manifested themselves differently, in according to their biological potential and the pedoclimatic conditions of the area. Following the harvest 75 days after the emergence of the potato plants, the lines Ts 09-1441-1525 (which achieved a marketable production of 31.27 t/ha), Ts 16-1515-1856 with 33, 55 t/ha and Ts 16-1526-1883, which achieved an average marketable production of 34.12 t/ha, productions close to that obtained with the control variety Redsec, respectively an estimated production of 42.84 t/ha. The 1895/4 line was also noted with a marketable production of 36.66 t/ha, close to that obtained with the Ervant variety (39.02 t/ha).
