Abstract

The effect the number of nodes and the number of nodes buried of 50 cm stem cutting on the root yield, root shape uniformity, and weight of stover of Georgia Red sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Linn.) was studied in both the dry and the wet season in 1967.

The number of nodes in the cutting did not influence yield and growth of sweet potato in both seasons.

The total and marketable yield in terms of weight and number of roots as well as the weight and number of roots in the different size groups tended to increase in both seasons as the number of nodes buried increased from 4 to 8 nodes.

Neither the number of nodes in a cutting nor the number of nodes buried had any effect on the stover yield.
