Abstract

Tissue culture is currently used by many seed potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) programs enabling the production of high quality, disease free seed potatoes. However, the choice of the ideal substrate is essential for the acclimatization and seedlings growth of the propagated plantlets derived from in vitro micropropagation, since some substrates can increase the seedling mortality and/or limit the seedling growth due to its physical and chemical characteristics. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of three weeks old in vitro plantlets of potato variety ATLAS, weaned on different locally sourced substrates. The study took place in the culture room of tissue culture laboratory of Radio-Isotopes Institute, University ABDOU MOUMOUNI, Niamey, Niger. The following substrates mixes (volume/volume) were tested: T01 Sand top soil, T02 Sand-Clay (1:1), T03 Sand-Clay (2:1), T04 Sand-Sawmill waste (1:1), T05 Sand-Sawmill waste (2:1), T06 Sand-Manure (1:1), T07 Sand-Manure (2:1), T08 Sand-Clay-Manure (1,1,1), T09 Sand-Clay-Manure (2,1,1), T10 Sand-Commercial potting soil-Sawmill waste (2,1,1). Completely randomized design was used with four replications. According to the results of the analysis of variance, the differences between substrates were statistically highly significant for the number of leaves, the height of the plants and the shoot fresh biomass. No significant difference was found for root length and biomass. Highest shoot fresh weight was obtained with the commercial potting soil substrate. Seven days after transplanting, recovery rate was 100% for all treatments. However, at 12 DAT, mortality reached 100% for treatment T6 with manure, joined later by treatments T8 and T9 (sand-clay and manure) with 75% mortality after 15 DAT. Plantlets transplanted on T2 and T3 substrates performed well in comparison with commercial soil potting. It could be a potential substitute for the conventional substrate in weaning potato plantlets for pre-base seeds production.
