According to the authors of a study published in HortScience, growing requirements
for sweetpotato crops in California closely match the weather conditions in the Treasure Valley of eastern Oregon and southwestern Idaho, where the growing season is characterized by high evapotranspiration and low precipitation.
Although studies have confirmed that water - soluble vitamins exist in
sweetpotato roots and leaves, there has been limited information about how these vitamins are actually distributed in the plants.
Results also showed that riboflavin content differed with
sweetpotato tissue type, but was consistently higher in the leaves; mature leaves contained higher amounts of riboflavin than young leaves and other plant tissues, including roots.

They noted that the vitamin B6 content in
sweetpotato leaves compares well with fruits and vegetables such as broccoli, avocados, carrots, bananas, and cauliflower.
In experiments at Oregon State University's Malheur Experiment Station, the scientists subjected four
sweetpotato cultivars (Covington, Beauregard, Diane, and Evangeline) to four soil water tension (SWT) regimes using an automated irrigation system.

Place brussels sprouts and the 1/2 cup of smaller

They conducted a third experiment to study water - soluble vitamin content among
different sweetpotato root tissues.
«These results confirm previous studies that
sweetpotato foliar tissues are a good source of ascorbic acid, and that young leaves have the highest foliar AA content,» the scientists noted.
«In general,
sweetpotato yield decreased with the increase in SWT, with the highest yield attained at the lowest SWT tested,» the authors explained.
«Growing conditions suggest that there are more than 120 days of favorable weather for
sweetpotato growth in the Treasure Valley,» they noted.
Recently, Oregon State University researchers discovered cultural practices that could help to
increase sweetpotato production in the semiarid Pacific Northwest.
The researchers used lettuce, pothos, and
sweetpotato plants in experiments with photosynthetic light provided by a 400 - Watt LED.

«Our results indicate that mature and young leaves
of sweetpotato could provide significant amounts of vitamin B6 to the human diet,» they said.
Buds also contained significantly higher AA content than
sweetpotato roots, vines, and petiole tissues.

Wilberforce Muyomba (Uganda) is consulting with PEF (Majeed Mohammed, Hala Chahine and LK) and Agribusiness Associates on a Hort Innovation Lab project to assess food losses in Rwanda (bananas, tomatoes, green chilies and

«The objective of the study was to determine the ascorbic acid, thiamin, riboflavin, and vitamin B6 content in a wide range of edible tissues of «Beauregard» and «LA 07 - 146»
sweetpotatoes, two important commercial cultivars in Louisiana,» Barrera and Picha said.
Besides the commonly consumed root of the plant, certain tissues in
sweetpotato are also edible and high in nutritional value.
The scientists analyzed a variety of
sweetpotato tissue types (mature leaves, young leaves, young petioles, buds, vine sections, and root tissue) from a sweetpotato plot at Louisiana State University in late October and again the following September.
Wilmer Barrera and David Picha from Louisiana State University Agricultural Center published a research study in HortScience that shows that mature and young leaves of
sweetpotato can provide significant amounts of vitamin B6 and other essential vitamins.
«Newly developed commercial
sweetpotato cultivars will produce mature roots in 80 - 90 days, suggesting that sweetpotato transplanted in late May or early June could produce mature roots for harvest by the end of September or early October, around the time of the first killing frost in the region.»
The researchers said the experiment suggests that
sweetpotato could be grown in eastern Oregon and would be capable of producing yields comparable to those obtained in California.
