| Abstract:
Thirty potato varieties/strains were planted both in saline and sodic soil as well as in normal soils. The potato growth and tuber production were analyzed, compared in terms of two different soil conditions. The result indicated that different genotypes showed varied capability to survive the salt and alkalinity. Three genotypes (79029, Kangsu 53 and Cip 24) were screened out of 30 in line with their higher endurance to salt. The field observation revealed the general trends that potatoes growing in saline and sodic soils were one to two weeks later than those in normal soils in emergence and around 30 cm decrease in height. Surprisingly, in some cases, the tuber yields in salt and alkalinity affected soils produced no less, sometimes even little more than those growing in normal soils. | |
