Abstract

Potatoes production requires large inputs of water for which development of drought tolerant cultivars
is particularly relevant to ensure or even increase its productivity. Two elite cultivars, Newen INTA and Spunta, were
evaluated in the field under contrasting water regimes. After drought treatment, the yield of marketable tubers decreased
53% in Spunta and 22% in Newen INTA while the number of marketable tubers decreased 32% in both cultivars. Yield of
tuber > 90 mm only decreased in Spunta (62.81%, p < 0.05). Newen INTA showed a greater reduction in the shoot and root
dry biomass than Spunta, while the root/shoot ratio was higher in Newen INTA. Proline content increased 61% in both
cultivars under drought treatment. Drought tolerance indices (GMP and DTI) were higher in Newen INTA, and the drought
susceptibility index was higher in Spunta. Proline content was correlated with root dry biomass and the marketable tuber
number in both cultivars. Dry root biomass correlated with the yield of marketable tubers and the number of marketable
tubers. In drought conditions, Newen INTA showed greater tolerance to drought. Therefore, Newen INTA emerges as a
useful genotype to contribute to increasing crop productivity in areas subject to water stress.
