E-mail: nsakadzo87@gmail.com Received: December 7, 2019 Accepted: December 27, 2019 Online Published: January 1, 2020 Abstract Potato (Solanum tuberosum L) is a strategic national food security crop in that can be used as a supplement for carbohydrates. It is the fastest growing staple food crop and source of income for poor smallholder farmers. There is limited documentation on effects of earthing up irish potatoes on yield and yield components in Zimbabwe. A field experiment was conducted in Zaka district of Masvingo province in Zimbabwe during the 2018/19 cropping season. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of time of earthing up on yield and yield parameters of BP1 potato variety. The treatments consisted of four levels of time of earthing up (no earthing up (control), three, four and five weeks after plant emergence), replicated three times on a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Results on earthing-up at three weeks recorded significantly (P<0.013) the highest total tuber yield (21.97 t ha-1) which is 10% higher compared to no earthing up which recorded 14.43 t ha-1. Moreover, earthing up at two weeks had the least number of greening tuber yield (3%), 11% pest damaged tuber yield, 6% unmarketable tuber yield and 45% marketable tuber yield. This is in contrast with no earthing up which recorded 91% greening tuber yield, 25.3% on pest damaged tubers, 59% on unmarketable tubers and 10% marketable tuber yield. Based on the results, first earthing up should be done at three weeks after complete plant emergence at the study area under rain fed conditions for the production of potatoes with improved yield and better tuber quality. Keywords: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), small holder farmers, food security, tuber yield, hilling, time of earthing up 1. Introduction Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an herbaceous annual plant which belongs to the order Solanales in the Solanaceae family of flowering plants grown for its edible tubers. It was first cultivated 6000 years ago by the Inca tribe in Peru (Quin, 2011). The potato plant has a branched stem and alternately arranged leaves consisting of leaflets which are both of unequal size and shape. It produces white or blue flowers and yellow-green berries. The potato tubers grow underground and are generally located in the top 25 cm of the soil, (Burke, 2012). The tubers can range in color from yellow to red or purple depending on the variety. Potato may also be referred to as, spud, Irish potato, white potato or Spanish potato. The plants can reach in excess of 1 m in height (Gusha, 2014). Irish potato (Solunum tuberosum L.) Irish potato is the most important horticultural crop in Zimbabwe and third as a carbohydrate food source after maize and wheat (Masvodza, 2015, The Herald, 2011, Ackerman, 2013). Acknowledging the increased interest in potato production and consumption, the Government of Zimbabwe declared Irish potato a national strategic food security crop on 18 May 2012 (The herald, 2012, Svubure et al., 2015). In contemporary Zimbabwe Irish potatoes were well established by the early twentieth century (FAOSTAT, 2012). In the year 1911, variety trials were undertaken with recorded yields up to 11.5 tones/ha. The government then decided to monitor local potato production as a priority to avoid the introduction of pests that may hinder the production of tobacco, one of Zimbabwe's most profitable cash crops (Masvodza, 2015) Therefore, the production of Irish potatoes in the country is protected under the Plant Pests and Diseases (Seed Potato Protection) Regulations in Statutory Instrument 679 (1982), although farmers themselves bear the responsibility to safeguarding their crop from diseases. Additionally, a national breeding program, which subjects imported potatoes to heavy quarantine, was instituted in 1956 and has been the only such program that is authorized to do so. as.ideasspread.org Agricultural Science Vol. 1, No. 1; 2019 40 Published by IDEAS SPREAD Today, potato production and consumption are booming worldwide, with ever greater quantities being processed for food and snack industries, while its importance as a subsistence crop continues to expand, (Muhammad et al., 2013). The average composition of the potato is about 80% water, 2% protein, and 18% starch. As a food, it is one of the cheapest and easily available sources of carbohydrates and proteins and contains appreciable amount of vitamins B and C as well as some minerals. According to FAO (2008), potato is the world's leading vegetable crop and is grown in 79% of the world’s countries. More than a billion people consume it almost daily. Hundreds of millions of people in developing countries depend on potatoes for their survival, (Muhammad et al., 2013) Several factors have been associated with reduced potato yields, with a lack of knowledge on time of earthing up and cultivation methods as well as the rising costs of production as major factors (Masvodza, 2015). According to Svubure et al. (2015), a study on yield gap analysis and resource footprints of Irish potato production systems in Zimbabwe by the Field Crops Research in 2015 found that most farmers lacked the technical know-how, about potato-farming. FAOSTAT (2013) postulated that about 3,500 hectare of the crop is planted annually in Zimbabwe; the average yield for potatoes is 20 tones per hectare. Currently there is little documentation on effects of earthing up of potatoes. Therefore, the objective of this research project is to assess the influence of time of earthing up on yield and yield parameters of Irish potatoes in Zaka district. 2. Materials and Methods 2.1 Study site The study was carried out in Zaka district in Jerera growth point plot number 353 which is (20o 241 South and 31o 261 East) at an altitude of 731 meters above sea level (Figure 1 shaded in orange). The site is located 104 kilometers South East of Masvingo town in Natural Region iv of Zimbabwe. The area is characterized by erratic rainfall pattern and the variability of rainfall and shortness of the season. The average annual rainfall ranges from 450-600mm per year. The area is dominated by sand loamy of granite origin soils with a pH ranging from 5.5- 6.5. Figure 1. Study site map (shaded in orange) 2.2 Experimental Design The experiment was implemented in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) as postulated by Tesfaye et al. (2013). The experimental design had four treatments replicated three times. The treatments of the experiment are shown in table 1 below: as.ideasspread.org Agricultural Science Vol. 1, No. 1; 2019 41 Published by IDEAS SPREAD Table 1. Treatment structure. Treatment T1 T2 T3 T4 No earthing up(control) Earthing up a week before flowering Earthing up at flowering Earthing up a week after flowering Weeks 3 weeks after plant emergence 4 weeks after plant emergence 5weeks after plant emergence 2.3 Plot Management Plot layout Three plots (blocks) were designed, each block comprised of 4 rows of 3m in length spaced at 0.9m apart. The in-row spacing was 0.3m and 0.9m inter-row. A total of 40 sprouted seed potato tubers of the BP1 variety were sown in each block allowing two shoots to grow per planting station. BP1 is a local early maturing variety which takes about 14-15 weeks to mature with white skin and flesh. The variety is resistant to late blight and has an expected yield of 13.5 to 20tlhaThe four treatments were replicated three times randomly to make a total of 12 rows in 3 blocks. Fertilizer application Compound S basal dressing fertiliser (NPK: 7:21:7) was used at planting at a rate of 1300kg/ha. Ammonium nitrate (AN) will be used as top dressing at a rate of 150kg/ha. The rate of AN Data collection and statistical analysis Some Irish potato parameters were recorded which have been documented to influence yield and other yield parameters, for example number of greening tubers (NGT), number of pest damaged potatoes (NPDT), number of unmarketable tubers (NUMT) and number of marketable tubers (NMT) and plant height. Analysis of variance was done using GenStat statistical package 14th edition. Separation of means was done using Fisher’s protected least significant difference (LSD) test at 5% significant difference. 3. Results Table 2.

Earthing up before flowering (EUBF) had the highest number of marketable tubers (152) whilst the control (NEU) had the least (33). Figure 6. Bar graph showing effects of time of earthing up on number of marketable tubers 4. Discussion Effects of time of earthing up on Irish potato yield (t/ha) Earthing up before flowering (EUBF 3 weeks) yielded 21.97t/ha (30%) while no earthing up (NEU control) recorded 14.43t/ha (10%). This result is similar with that of Gutema (2016) who obtained that ridging at two weeks after emergence during the growing period of the crop increased tuber yield by 10-20% compared to the control. In addition, Fanos et al. (2015) are also in agreement with this result through their study which they obtained that earthing up at 15 days give a difference of 10.13% on total potato tuber yield over the control with no earthing up. This is largely because of the enough time given to the potato plant (earthed at 15 days) to transform the photosynthesates to yield (a conducive environment for better source to sink relationship in the potato plants). In line with the study (Tafirt et al., 2010) explains the mutual effect of earthing up at 15 days as significant because it coincides with the active growth stage of the plant hence improved the soil conditions at this stage promotes efficient nutrient absorption resulting in increased plant growth and development that ultimately results in yield. According to Don and James (1990) the plant’s severe need of the soil moisture and nutrients at this stage (two weeks), earthing up, thus, creates a suitable environment for growth of rhizomes and promote more tuber initiation. Effects of time of earthing up on number of pest damaged tubers The results showed that the difference amongst the treatments with respect to number of pest damaged tubers (NPDT) was highly significant. No earthing up (NEU) recorded 61% of the total pest damaged tubers among the treatments while other treatments ranged from 11% to 15%. According to Svubureet al. (2015), potato tubers covered with soil less than 5cm will be exposed and prone to pest attack. However, Singh and Joshi (2016) specified that the Irish potato plant has the ability to produce its own protective chemicals which can make it lethal to insects, animals and fungi which attack it. as.ideasspread.org Agricultural Science Vol. 1, No. 1; 2019 45 Published by IDEAS SPREAD Effects of time of earthing up on the number greening tubers There was a highly significant difference on the number of greening tubers amongst the treatments. A total of 91% of greening potatoes were recorded on (NEU) while 6% was recorded under earthing up before flowering (EUBF/3 weeks) treatment. The results concurs with the findings of Muhammad et al. (2013) who reported that ridging significantly reduced tuber greening, green tubers were found on plants where there was no hilling and was significantly more than any of the hilled treatments. When potato tubers are exposed to light, amyloplasts are converted to chloroplasts in tuber peripheral cell layers, which cause the accumulation of the green photosynthetic pigment (Fanos et al., 2015). Tuber greening can be impacted by genetic, cultural, physiological and environmental factors but planting depth and tuber physiological age, matters most (Singh & Joshi, 2016). Tuber greening was reduced as seed pieces were planted deeper. Multiple studies indicate that green or sunburned tuber yield can be significantly reduced by increasing planting depth or through timely earthing up (Fanos et al., 2015). Therefore deducing from the above discussion timing of earthing up has a direct bearing to the number of greening tubers. Delayed or no earthing up exposes the tubers to light and hence greening of tubers increases this is in agreement with the results of the investigation which shows that 125 potato tubers were recorded from the control where there was no earthing up, the tubers were exposed to light and some ended up sprouting right in the field. Effects of time of earthing up on number of unmarketable tubers. Results of this experiment revealed that the delaying and no earthing-up resulted in higher percentage of unmarketable tubers. In this experiment unmarketable tuber yield was assessed by identifying under sized, damaged, diseased, deformed and green potato tubers (Tesfaye et al., 2012). A higher number (128) of affected tubers by disease, pests, size, malformed, greening tubers and pre harvest sprouting on tubers was observed in no earthing-up trials while 13 were recorded on EUBF ( 3 weeks) These results are in agreement with those produced by Fanos et al. (2015) who found out that unmarketable tuber yield from plots where earthing-up was done at 15 days was 16.55% lower than unmarketable tuber yield from no earthing up plots. From the investigation, earthing- up at three weeks, four weeks five weeks and no earthing up showed reduced unmarketable tuber yield with early earthing up by 6%, 12%, 23% and 59 %, respectively. This is probably because of that which was explained by Svubure et al. (2015), denoting that exposing tubers outside of hill or tubers be shallow, less than 5 cm covered by soil make tubers prone to pest attack and greening which compromises tuber quality. Effects of time of earthing up on number of marketable tubers The highest number marketable tubers (152) was obtained at earthing up at EUBF (3 weeks) whereas 94, 59 and 33 were recorded from earthing up at EAF(4 weeks), EUAF (5 weeks) and NEU (no earthing up) respectively. Results are in line to those found by Don and James (1990) who postulated that plants at EUBF (3 weeks) will quickly be covered and start tuber initiation on time, this leads to large sized tubers which are of good quality. The investigation showed that plant tubers from this stage of earthing up were always covered from the period of tuber initiation and thereafter which reduces their exposure to light, pest and diseases attack which greatly compromise tuber quality for marketability. The result of the current investigation are in line with the findings of Tesfaye et al. (2012) who rephrase earthing up as early as two weeks produces better yield of marketable tubers than that at 4weeks and no earthing up. 5. Conclusion The current investigation showed that time of earthing up significantly affected both yield and all the four yield parameters (number of pest damaged tubers, number of greening potatoes, number of unmarketable tubers and number of marketable tubers). It can be concluded from this study that earthing up of potatoes before flowering (3 weeks) after full plant emergence is best preferable for attaining a higher yield and yield parameters. This study verified that yield and yield parameters of potato are influenced by time earthing up. Recommendations The researcher recommends that farmers should first earth up Irish potatoes before flowering in order to attain high yield and marketable yield.
