Abstract: Xuzishu 3 is charactered as high anthocyanin content,good germination,nice storage and high agronomic quality.Identification of influence of external factors on it will be beneficial to improve cultivation method for increasing the sweetpotato yield and anthocyanin content.In this study,we studied the impact of hormone (ethylene and GA),mineral elements (calcium chloride and potassium dihydrogen phosphate) and different planting time on sweetpotato yields,anthocyanin content and anthocyanin yields by orthogonal experiment.The results showed:Early planting (May 10) and using 1.5 kg/ha GA and 3.0 kg/ha potassium dihydrogen phosphate could significantly improve sweetpotato yields of Xuzishu 3;delaying planting time (June 10) without hormone and mineral elements treatment could improve the tuber anthocyanin content of Xuzishu 3 during harvest;early planting and application of 1.5 kg/ha ethylene could significantly improve tuber anthocyanin yields of Xuzishu 3.

Key words: Hormone, Mineral elements, Purple sweetpotato, Anthocyanin
