Abstract
SUMMARYExperiments, conducted over 3 years, investigated the effect of all combinations of two storage periods at low temperature (0 or 2 °C) and two storage periods at 10 °C on the sprout growth, numbers of stems per tuber, foliage development and subsequent tuber yield of the two maincrop varieties Maris Piper and Désirée.Although the number of day-degrees accumulated during sprouting was the same for all treatment combinations, there were large effects of treatments on the number of sproutlets per tuber and the total sprout length per tuber. However, there was no effect on the number of stems per tuber, foliage development or saleable ware yield inany year.
