This study was conducted to determine the effect of potato seedling charateristics on the tuber formation and tuber rooting. The results are summarized as follows:
1) Sixty days after transplanting in Aeroponic, the Aeroponic method increased the plant height 7.4cm and the plant diameter 2.0cm more than the NFT method.
2) Ninety days after transplanting maximum stolen number of AERO, 30.4cm longer than the NFT method, and stolen per plant of NFT 10.5cm more than the Aeroponic method.
3) Tuber number Per plant was 47.1 in Aeroponic and 42.4 in NFT. However, tuber formation rate was aero : 66%, NFT : 40.3%
4) The rooting speed of a stem cutting of 1~2mm seedling was faster than 5~6mm seedlings.
5) Forty days after stem cutting, stolen increased 3~4mm and stolen length showed 5~6mm.
6) Tuber yield was 40.3 for 1~2mm seedlings, 38.3 for 3~4mm, and 27.2 for 5~6mm, was 27.2 respectively.
As we said above, we can estimate that Aeroponic method was good for seed tuber formation and proper stem cutting size was 1~3mm for hydroponics.
