Abstract
  • The effects of irrigation frequencies and rates and time of nitrogen fertilizer application on the yields, grades and N status of Russet Burbank potatoes were determined on a sandy soil near Hermiston, Oregon. Increasing the frequency of irrigation from 72 to 48 to 12-hours did not result in increases of yields or improved grades of tubers during the growing season. Optimum yields and grades were obtained when 196 lbs. N/A was applied in a single fertilizer application with 88 lbs. N/A in the soil as nitrate-N. This N treatment corresponded to 0.58, 0.42, 0.46, 0.32 and 0.17 percent petiole nitrate-N on July 6, July 21, August 4, August 24 and September 9 sampling dates, respectively. Split N fertilizer applications resulted in higher petiole nitrate-N levels during the growing season, similar total yields and lower yields of U.S. No. 1 tubers than treatments in which all of the fertilizer was applied at planting. The higher petiole nitrate-N levels delayed tuber maturity and subsequently the split N applications were influenced by the high soil and air temperatures in July and August and formed increased yields of off-shape tubers. This emphasizes the importance of adequate N early in the growing season in order to prevent delayed vine and tuber growth and the importance of even assimilation of nutrients by the tubers in later stages of development.
