Abstract

The research was conducted during the agricultural season of 2022-2023 in a protected greenhouse at the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering at Idlib University. The study focused on potato plants derived from true seed cultivation of the Naeema potato variety, planted during the spring season of 2022. Two foliar spray treatments were applied to the cultivated potato plants: amino acids and dry yeast, in addition to a control group that was sprayed with water only. The experiment followed a completely randomized design (CRD). The results showed that the foliar spray treatment with amino acids significantly outperformed the control group in all studied characteristics, including marketable tuber number, main stem length, tuber count per plant, tuber length, tuber diameter, tuber weight, and total tuber yield per plant. Similarly, the foliar spray treatment with dry yeast outperformed the control group in marketable tuber number, main stem length, tuber count per plant, tuber length, and total tuber yield per plant. However, the two treatments had no significant differences in tuber diameter and weight. Finally, the foliar spray treatment with amino acids showed superior results to the foliar spray treatment with dry yeast in marketable tuber number, length, diameter, weight, and total tuber yield per plant. No significant differences were observed between the two foliar spray treatments in main stem length and tuber count per plant.
