Optimizing gibberellic acid concentration and exposure time for effective dormancy breaking and sprouting enhancement in potato

Abstract Tuber dormancy in Solanum tuberosum L. (potato) significantly limits early growth and yield potential, highlighting the need for effective dormancy-breaking strategies. Gibberellic acid (GA₃) is widely used to stimulate sprouting, but its optimal concentration and exposure time require furt...
