Evaluation of sweet potato growing in different environments of Croatia

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.), a vegetable species of high nutritional value, is being introduced in the agricultural production of Croatia. Research was done in 2005 in Mediterranean (Poreč) and continental regions (Varaždin, Zagreb) with the aim to assess the influence of plant density and cultivar on yield components of roots intended for the green market. Orange-flesh cultivar 'Bat-1' gave a significantly higher marketable yield on all locations. Significantly higher marketable yield was obtained at higher plant density.
