Comparison of aeroponics and conventional system of production of potato mini-tubers in the conditions of the Czech Republic
Original language description
Aeroponics would appear to have a number of potential attributes to make potato production more efficient. In a 3-year trial, from 2019 to 2021, potatoes were grown in aeroponic units using two nutrient solutions as well as in a conventional polycarbonate greenhouse in a substrate. Potato varieties Adéla, Zuza and Ornella were used in all trial years. No statistically significant effect of nutrient solution or potato variety on the number and weight of tubers was found in the trial. However, advantages of aeroponics over conventional technology were statistically proven. The number of tubers per plant in aeroponic units ranged from 2.4 (2019, Adéla variety) to 41.0 (2021, Zuza variety), while in the greenhouse they ranged from 3.9 (2019, Adéla variety) up to 12.6 (2021, Adéla variety). The average weight of tubers in aeroponic units ranged between 2.0 and 9.9 g per plant (2 to 10 successive harvests) and in the greenhouse 22.7 g to 41.9 g per plant (single harvest). The influence of variety on the average weight of tubers within individual cultivation technology variants was statistically proven only for polycarbonate greenhouse: only one harvest after the end vegetation.
