Abstract

Sweet potato (Ipomea batats Poir) is one of the plants with a special chemical composition that is most complete in nutritional value for people of different ages, especially for the ages of childhood and old age. It is an excellent food for people who have stomach problems and who have poor metabolism and stomach problems. Sweet potatoes are rich in starch, sugars, proteins, vitamins, and chemical elements such as potassium, iron, magnesium, and others. In contrast to the potato, there is much less solanine. Two sweet potato cultivars were included in the study: Beauregard, Pepita, and Convingation. Seedlings were obtained in Ioannina from the AGRIOS company, Greece, and planted in Divjaka in sandy soils suitable for sweet potato cultivation. Biometric measurements were performed on all three cultivars for morphological and production indicators: Number of shoots/plant, length of shoots/plant (sum), longest shoot, shortest shoot, number of leaves/plant, leaf color, flower color, leaf shape, tuber shape, tuber skin color, tuber pulp color, bud placement on tuber, production/plant (Kg/plant), number of tubers/plant, average tuber weight kg, weight of largest tuber (kg), weight of smallest tuber kg, Yield Kv/ha. Samples were taken from the manufactured products, and chemical analyses were performed at the ATTC (Agricultural Technology Transfer Center) in Lushnje.
