Abstract
This study with aims to investigate the effect of nutrient solution sulfonated silicon with elemental sulfur S8 in the mini-tuber production of potato cultivars in the greenhouse of Potato Research Station of Ardabil Province, Iran was done during April till August of 2022. This experiment was carried out based on the factorial experimental design in two factors and three repetitions. The first factor with two levels including: 1. foliar spraying with nutrient solution sulfonated silicon with elemental sulfur S8 and 2. Control (without nutrient solution sulfonated silicon with elemental sulfur S8) and the second factor consists of micro-tubers of five cultivars in the name of Agria, Jelli, Anosha, T297 and Sheida. The foliar spraying with S-8 nutrient solution was done in five stages of vegetative growth, plant growth and development, tuberization, flowering and tuber development and tuber bulking. The results of analysis of variance showed that there was a significant difference between the levels of nutrient solution, cultivars and the interaction between nutrient solution and cultivars in terms of mini-tuber number and weight per square meter, mini-tuber number per plant and plant height. Anosha cultivar had the highest values in terms of mini-tuber number and weight per square meter and tuber number per plant traits by using nutrient solution and was placed in the group A. The Agria, Jelli, Sheida and T297 cultivars were placed in the group B and had the highest amount by using nutrient solution in terms of these characteristics. The Agria, Jelli and Anosh cultivars had the highest plant height by using nutrient solution. Based on the results, using sulfonated silicon nutrient solution with elemental sulfur S8 causing an increase mini-tuber number per square meter (515 numbers), mini-tuber number per plant (5 numbers), mini-tuber weight per square meter (47 kg) and plant height (92 cm) became.
