Influence of planting density of micro-plants on the number of potato mini-tubers

For the first time in the conditions of the Volga-Vyatka region of the Russian Federation, we determined the parameters of planting micro-plants for the output of potato mini-tubers. The study has shown that to increase the yield of mini-tubers of potatoes, it is necessary to develop an optimal method for planting micro-plants that is most suitable for each variety. Some potato varieties, such as Reggae and Samba, produce more mini-tubers when the planting density increases. Whereas Bellarosa potato plants will produce more mini-tubers if the nutrition area for each plant is increased by reducing planting density. In potato varieties Reggie and Samba, by increasing the density of planting, the yield of mini-tubers increases. For the Bellarosa variety, a decrease in the planting density of micro-plants is required.
