Abstract
The plant spacing and ridging are essential practices for the cultivation of the potato. The study was conducted in the experimental area of Department of Agronomy, Universidade Estadual do Centro Oeste – Unicentro, Guarapuava - PR. The objective was to evaluate the effects of different plant spacing in the row crop and time of ridging on the yield and characteristics of potato tubers. . The experiment was structured in a randomized block designin - factorial 4 x 4 with four replications, consisting of four managements / times of ridging, being one witness without ridging and four plants spacing in the row from 16 to 34 cm that resulted in plant populations ranging from 36,765 to 78,125 plants ha -1 , respectively. Characteristics such as average weight, size, productivity and greening of tubers were evaluated. It was found that the greater spacing between plants linked to the achievement of ridging at planting stressed as the best management alternative for the production of potatoes for consumption.
