harvest and stem length mean that careful cultivar selection throughout the year is essential to maximize production efficiency and profit margins for growers who do not have access to or choose not to use photoperiodic controls. For example, a grower may
. Removal of the cotyledons with the hypocotyl-only method may decrease chances of disease because the cotyledon could become a harbor for disease as it ages. Complete cotyledon removal also increases production efficiency by decreasing the space requirement
decrease the labor required for mechanical weeding. However, Muragi and Sajjan (2019) reported that transplanting lowers production efficiency in terms of time, material, and labor compared with direct seeding. Early-season weed control is the primary
select the lowest possible planting density associated with optimum economic benefits will lead to production efficiency and reduce the risk of undesirable outcomes in sweetpotato production. Recently, we have developed a BBN model that described the
