| Summary: | To evaluate the effect of water, tape drip and furrowirrigation methods on the performance components andfeatures of Agria cultivar potato, an experiment was carriedout in the agriculture faculty of Kermanshah. Repeated threetimes, this study was carried out in the form of full randomblocks with the main factor of different amounts of irrigationwater in three levels (50, 75, and100 percent of cumulativeevaporation from an A- class evaporation pan) and the secondaryfactor of irrigation method (including drip and furrow irrigations).At 3 repetitions, results showed that the minimum performance(19.168 tons per hectare) was related to the drip irrigationmethod with 50 percent evaporation from the A-class pan andthe maximum one (34.455 tons per hectare) was related to thedrip irrigation method with 100 percent evaporation from theA-class pan. The rate of irrigation and effectiveness of methodon the number of the main stem per square meter and numberof the main stem in the bush were not significant. The minimumpercent (number of tubers) of tubers smaller than 35mm(26.47percent) and the maximum tuber production (37.17percent) in the size of food and market-friendly (tuber biggerthan 55mm) were attained by drip irrigation method with 100percent evaporation from the A-class pan. The impact ofIrrigation method on and the specific gravity of tubers andstarch (dry matter) was and was not significant, respectively |
