Aeroponics is being enthusiastically adopted by many private companies and public institutions in China as a viable means to produce minitubers. A series of experiments were conducted, with two contrasting varieties. Chuanyu 117 and Mira, to help refine the techniques and to strive for greater productivity. Experiments were conducted at Chengdu, Sichuan during the spring season from February to June and the autumn season from the late September to February. Large differences were observed between nutrient solutions tested. The cheapest MS based treatment solution with NH sub 4 CI as the nitrogen source yields in the highest tuber weight per unit area.
