O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho de clones de batata-doce cultivados em diferentes períodos. O delineamento experimental foi de blocos casualizados, em esquema de parcelas subdivididas, com três repetições. Foram testados nas parcelas três períodos de cultivo (3, 5 e 7 meses), e nas subparcelas, cinco clones de batata-doce (acessos IBP-007, IBP-038, IBP-075, IBP-079 e IBP-149), e a culti...
