Correlation, Heatmap, Mini Tuber, Tuber YieldAbstract
Mini-tuber weight and within-row planting spacing significantly influence plant emergence, vegetative growth, and tuber yield in seed potato production. This study analyzed these relationships, finding that plant emergence time was strongly correlated with days to flowering but negatively linked to emergence rate, plant height, and various yield traits. Conversely, emergence rate positively correlated with plant height and other growth metrics. Overall, strong correlations among these traits suggest they can effectively indicate the impact of mini-tuber weights and spacing on potato production outcomes.
