Resumen

La aplicación foliar de IPC-Cloro, en papa de las variedades Kennebec y Katahdin, fueron probadas para su efecto en el color de las hojuelas, gravedad específica de los tubérculos y madurez del follaje de la planta. E1 promedio de 4 años de los lotes tratados y los no tratados, indicaron que el color de las hojuelas fue mejorado y la madurez de la planta acelerada, por las aplicaciones foliares de IPC-Cloro. La gravedad específica de los tubérculos cosechados, sin embargo, no fueron afectados por las aplicaciones foliares del IPC-Cloro.

Summary

Foliar applications of Chloro-IPC on Kennebec and Katahdin potatoes were tested for their effect on chip color and specific gravity and maturity of the plant foliage. Four year averages of treated and untreated plots indicate that chip color was improved and plant maturity hastened by foliar applications of Chloro-IPC. Specific gravities of harvested tubers, however, were not affected by foliar applications of Chloro-IPC.
