摘要: Planting times of potato in subtropical China vary and are often not optimal; their effects were studied in association with those of plant density. The research programme included 10 trials at three elevations (500, 750, 1200 m asl) in the spring and autumn seasons of 2 years with several contrasting varieties and different seed origins. Earlier planting in spring increased yield at 500 m asl. This effect was associated with better light use efficiency, higher rates of photosynthesis and more tubers per plant. At 750 m asl the effects of planting time in spring were the opposite: later planting increased yield. At 1200 m asl effects on yield were absent. Effects of planting time in autumn on yield were generally absent at all elevations, although plant stands at early planting were consistently and often severely reduced. Denser planting produced yields that were higher per unit area because of larger accumulated canopy cover but were lower per plant. Higher density consistently reduced plant stand. Density did not interact with planting time, not even in those experiments in which planting time also affected plant stands. Optimal planting time depended on the amount of rainfall prior to planting especially in the autumn season, but also on cultivar and dormancy of the seed tubers used. The earlier variety yielded more than the later variety at low elevation, whereas the later variety yielded more at higher elevation. It is necessary to use cultivars that tuberize early to make better use of the limited growing period at lower elevation. The large variation of dormancy that affects plant growth and yield is caused primarily by differences in accumulated temperature sum (as affected by planting time, elevation of growth and storage, and season), genetics (variety), and their interaction with cultivation techniques.
