Abstract
SUMMARY Irrigation applied early during tuberization significantly decreased scab on tubers of Majestic, King Edward and Record, but not on Pentland Crown, a resistant cultivar, where tubers had little scab even from the driest soil. There was little benefit from keeping soils wetter than 0.6 in (15.24 mm) soil moisture deficit (S.M.D.) for more than 3 weeks after tuber initiation, and irrigation to 0.8 in (20.32 mm) S.M.D. gave economic control. Irrigating only after the ‘marble stage’ increased yield but the tubers were scabbed. Irrigation did not alter the rate eyes (nodes) separated from the apical bud but speeded the swelling of tubers.
