Abstract

Increasing urbanisation and the rise in global food prices, which results in severe hunger and micronutrient deficiencies, necessitates the identification of innovative, but affordable vegetable growing-based strategies, that can increase access to food by utilising the limited space available in rural and urban areas. Therefore, sack gardening technology could be a solution to both the lack of arable land and water scarcity in urban and rural areas. The objective of the study was to determine whether axillary bud number will have an effect on the agronomic parameters of sweet potato cv. 'Blesbok' produced using the sack gardening technology. The number of axillary buds per stem cutting, namely, 1 (control), 2, 3, 4, and 5 buds, were arranged in RCBD, with 10 replicates. The number of axillary buds had significant effects on vine length (VL), fresh shoot mass (FSM), number of shoots (NOS) and dry shoot mass (DSM). However, no significant effects were observed on fresh tuberous root mass (FTRM), chlorophyll content (CC), stem diameter (ST), tuberous root diameter (TRL), tuberous root length (TRL), dry tuberous root mass (DTRM) and number of tuberous roots (NTR). Relative to the control VL, FSM and DRM was reduced by 8-37, 30-55 and 26-55%, in stem cuttings having 2, 3, 4 and 5 buds, respectively, whereas the NS was increased by 8-17%. The quadratic relationship models were explained by 95, 92, 96 and 98% in VL, NOS, FSM and DSM, respectively. In conclusion, stem cuttings containing 1 and 2 axillary buds showed better growth parameters when grown under sack gardening technology.

利用套袋栽培技术扦插甘薯品种'Blesbok'的腋芽数量对其产量的影响

城市化进程的加快和全球粮食价格的上涨导致了严重的饥饿和微量营养素缺乏症，因此有必要找出创新的、经济实惠的蔬菜种植战略，利用农村和城市地区有限的空间来增加获得粮食的机会。因此，麻袋园艺技术可以解决城市和农村地区缺乏耕地和缺水的问题。本研究的目的是确定腋芽数量是否会对使用套袋栽培技术生产的甘薯品种 "Blesbok "的农艺参数产生影响。每个茎切口的腋芽数量，即 1 个（对照）、2 个、3 个、4 个和 5 个芽，按 RCBD 排列，共设 10 个重复。腋芽数量对藤长（VL）、鲜枝质量（FSM）、芽数（NOS）和干枝质量（DSM）有显著影响。但对新鲜块根质量（FTRM）、叶绿素含量（CC）、茎直径（ST）、块根直径（TRL）、块根长度（TRL）、干块根质量（DTRM）和块根数量（NTR）没有明显影响。与对照相比，有 2、3、4 和 5 个芽的茎插条的 VL、FSM 和 DRM 分别减少了 8-37%、30-55% 和 26-55%，而 NS 则增加了 8-17%。在 VL、NOS、FSM 和 DSM 中，二次关系模型的解释率分别为 95%、92%、96% 和 98%。总之，在套袋栽培技术下，含有 1 个和 2 个腋芽的茎插条表现出更好的生长参数。

期刊介绍： The Research on Crops is a peer-reviewed journal publishing original research papers, review articles and short communications in English on all basic and applied aspects of crop sciences, agricultural water management, agro-climatology, agroforestry, agronomy, crop production, crop protection, cropping systems, food science & technology, genetics & plant breeding, horticulture, plant & soil science, plant biotechnology, plant nutrition, post-harvest management of crops, seed science, soil management & tillage, vegetables, weed science, agricultural engineering, agri-business, agricultural economics and extension, etc. The aim of the journal is to provide a forum for the scientific community to publish their latest research findings. The manuscripts submitted for publication should not contain data older than 4 years on the date of submission. The articles submitted for publication in this journal should not be submitted elsewhere simultaneously for publication in another journal. These should not carry any copyright material without prior permission of copyright holder. The articles should present a complete picture of the investigation made and should not be split into parts. There is no prescribed limit regarding the number of pages in case of full-length articles. However, the authors are advised to keep the length of their articles from 4 to 10 full printed pages of the journal. The articles should be divided into the sub-sections: ABSTRACT, INTRODUCTION, MATERIALS AND METHODS, RESULTS AND DISCUSSION, CONCLUSIONS, and REFERENCES. Tables and figures should be appended separately at the end.
