Abstract:

Under the condition of dry cultivation, the potato variety ‘Villas’ was used as the material, and the plant growth regulators were sprayed on the leaves at different plant height periods during the flowering stage. The effects of polyazole mepiquat chloride and uniconazol on the growth characteristics, agronomic traits and yield of potato at different plant height periods were compared. The results showed that there was a significant negative correlation between yield and plant height, and the correlation index was -0.8935. Spraying plant growth regulators at different plant heights had a very significant effect on increasing yield. When the plant height was about 60 cm, the effect of foliar spraying of polyazole mepiquat chloride was the best, and the yield of ‘Villas’ was the highest, which was 22.79% higher than that of the control. Spraying plant growth regulators on leaves promotes plant height dwarfing and tuber yield increasing. In field production, it is of practical guiding significance for producers to clarify how many centimeters of plant height are treated with chemicals, in order to provide basic data for chemical regulation of potato variety ‘Villas’ planting.
