Abstract

The objective of this study was to use a potato planter for operation in soils whose surface had not been plowed (no-tillage) or little plowed (minimum tillage), evaluating the performance of the installed culture by means of modifications to the machinery and conventional planting. An experiment was conducted in casual blocks was carried out with subdivided plots and four repetitions. The results showed that: the production of commercial tubers was not affected by the treatments and the average yield obtained was 28,266 kg ha-1; minimum tillage (MT) resulted in the greatest number and mass of non-commercial tubers; and tilling, an operation considered essential by some authors, showed to be dispensable for the conditions in which the experiment was performed.
