Abstract

Abstract This work was established to study the effects of sources and levels of potassium (K) along with gypsum and the residual effects of K on growth and yield of two potato (Solanum tubrosum L.) cultivars. Two experiments were conducted under field conditions at the experimental station of “Sao Sebastiao do Paraiso”; Southeastern Minas Gerais, Brazil. Tuber quality, yield components, and branches and leaves mineral composition were analyzed. In the first year, using the ‘Monallsa’ cultivar, there were significant effects of treatments on plant height, tuber dry matter, and plant mineral composition. In the second year, using the ‘Achat’ cultivar, the K application plus residual gypsum from the first year reduced plant physiological anomaly known as tuber cracking.
