Prospects for adaptation of the potato to lowland tropical conditions: influence of agronomic techniques
1987
Abubaker, A.S. | Islam, A.S.
A discussion on results of experiments carried out at the Coast Agricultural Research Station in Kenya on potato agronomy. High temperature is the major constraint in potato production at the Kenyan coast and hence development of agronomic (field) practices that will physically change the crop microclimate and increase yields are enhanced. Studies are being carried out on spacing, weeding, mulching, fertilizer application and intercropping of which mulching has already been found to improve the potato yield
