Title: DETERMINATION OF SOME QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF SOME POTATO CULTIVARS IN THE REGION OF POLOG
Author: Saliji, Alirami
Abstract: The purpose of the experiment was to investigate some quantitative and qualitative characteristics of some potato cultivars cultivated in the Polog region such as: crop yield, yield per hectare, share of dry matter, starch and sugars and determination of specific gravity. For this purpose, the field experiment was set up in the locality of Sellarcë e Epërme in the production year 2020. The experiment was set up according to the randomized method with three replications. For the experiment were taken the following cultivars: Jelly, Marabel, Georgina, Lucinda, Laura and Actris. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that the cultivar with the highest average weight of tubers per plant resulted in the Jelly cultivar with 1200 gr / plant, while the cultivar with the lowest weight of tubers per plant resulted in the Marabel cultivar 1020 gr / plant. The highest average yield of tubers per hectare was the Jelly cultivar at 51600 kg / ha and the lowest at the Marabel cultivar 43860 kg / ha. The obtained results show that the highest percentage of dry matter was found in the Laura cultivar 20.43% while the lowest Lucinda cultivar 17.98%. The percentage of starch that is in direct correlation with dry matter, in higher values was found in the cultivar Laura 14.05% while in the lowest value in the cultivar Lucinda 11.7%. Based on the obtained results we can conclude that the highest percentage of sugars had the cultivar Georgina 0.431% while the lowest cultivar Laura 0.039%. Also, the specific weight as a qualitative characteristic is higher in Laura and Marabel 1,082 cultivars, while the lower cultivar is Lucinda 1,069.
