Variety traits
Potato plant height
Solanum tuberosum L.
A biometric indicator of potato shoot development reflecting the growth vigor of a variety. It is measured from the soil surface to the growth point of the main stem, excluding inflorescences.
In the reference 110 varieties crop Potato, where this is mentioned in the description.
During potato variety trials, plant height is determined from the base of the stem to the tip of the main stem; after the flowering phase, the length of the inflorescences is not taken into account. The values are recorded in centimeters and are an important varietal characteristic that determines the growth habit.
Optimal plant height is closely related to photosynthetic efficiency and the potential yield of the crop. Light deficiency leads to stem elongation, while temperature stress can cause either stunted growth or excessive haulm development at the expense of tuber mass accumulation.
Plant height and growth habit are taken into account when choosing agronomic practices, including hilling and mechanized haulm removal before harvesting. The compact or spreading nature of the plant directly determines the technological requirements for inter-row cultivation during the growing season.
