Drought affects the synchrony of aboveground and belowground phenology in tropical potato
Drought affects the synchrony of aboveground and belowground phenology in tropical potato
Abstract (English)
The literature describes the belowground and aboveground phenology of potato to be linearly related. Bud formation is synchronous with tuber initiation and flowering with tuber filling. Many agronomic and breeding studies on potato use non‐destructive aboveground phenology to assess belowground development. No information is currently available on the influence of water deficit on the synchrony of above‐ and belowground development in potato. Five contrasting potato genotypes were subjected to four irrigation treatments on two different soil types. The irrigation treatments were as follows: fully watered, early drought, intermediate drought, and late drought. In 5‐day intervals after withholding water, detailed belowground and aboveground development was recorded. Results showed that the synchrony between aboveground and belowground development is strongly influenced by both water deficit and development stage at drought initiation. Under early drought, the aboveground development was hastened and belowground development was delayed. The opposite was found in later development stages. The earlier the drought was initiated, the longer the tuber filling phase was, while the bulking phase was shortened. We concluded that under terminal drought conditions aboveground development and belowground development need to be evaluated separately and cannot follow the standard evaluation system that uses aboveground phenology as a proxy for tuber formation belowground development rates.
