摘要: Growth and tuber yield of local sweet potato cultivars were compared during the 1974 1975 growing seasons. Three significantly outyielded others. The cultivar effect was associated with differences in individual weight, rate bulking percentage total dry matter diverted into vine or stem. Mean crop growth (C) tubers greater higher yielding there positive significant correlation between Cand final weight. Leaf area duration (D) than but D not consistent. Higher had tuber/leaf ratio other cultivars.Bulking weight positively correlated yield, while negatively yield.
