PRELIMINARY STUDIES ON THE PRODUCTION OBTAINED DEPENDING ON THE IRRIGATION RATE APPLIED TO SWEET POTATO CROP IN SOUTHERN OLTENIA

Abstract

This scientific paper presents the results of a study carried out at Dăbuleni Research-Development Station for Plant Culture on Sands in 2024, regarding the production obtained at sweet potato plants grown in Southwest Romania, on sandy soils and in different irrigation regimes. The average productions obtained by the four varieties depending on the irrigation variant showed the productive potential of the Koretta variety, which achieved statistically assured productions as very significant in two of the three variants, respectively in V 1 (production increase of 30.64 t/ha compared to the control variety Dabu 23) and in V 2 (production increase of 23.96 t/ha).
