| Abstract | This study clarified the effect of planting date on the growth and yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plants grown from conventional seed tubers (CT) and microtubers (MT). CT of about 50 g and MT of 1 to 3 g of early (Kitaakari) and late (Norin 1) maturity cultivars were planted at Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan, on May 13, June 4 and June 25, and their growth and yields were investigated. The linear increase in leaf area index started later, but thereafter was higher in MT plants than in CT plants, irrespective of cultivar and planting date. Tuber formation was later in MT plants than in CT plants of both cultivars, but this difference was smaller on the last planting date. The linear increase in tuber dry weight started later in MT plants than in CT plants, but the rate of increase was similar in MT and CT plants of both cultivars and on all planting dates. Delaying the date of planting reduced the tuber yield, mainly because of the shortening growing period in MT and CT plants. The reduction in tuber yield and growing period was greater for the late cultivar Norin 1 compared with the early cultivar Kitaakari of CT and MT plants. Despite the climatic variations among the planting dates, MT plants yielded 71 to 90% of tuber fresh weight relative to CT plants, suggesting that MT are a good alternative as propagules for potato cultivation in countries where seed production is difficult. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
