abstract:
The paper presents the results of research involving potato tuber crop evaluation depending on soil cultivation method before planting and on tuber variety. The following parameters were determined: total yield and its structure, commercial yield, starch yield, and yield equalisation extent. Analysis of examined agrotechnical factors proved that cultivation process simplification considerably reduces total yield and commercial yield volume, compared to conventional production technology recommended for potato growing. Unquestionable benefits of simplified and ecological technologies should be sought in yield quality (chemical composition or health of tubers) and in seed-potato yield volume.
