GENOTYPE AND ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABILITY OF CHEMICAL ELEMENTS IN POTATO TUBERS
Journal Title: Acta Scientiarum Polonorum – Agricultura - Year 2016, Vol 15, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract. The scope of genetic variation in concentrations of minerals in potato tubers and effects of mineral fertilizers application, pesticides, growth regulators on the mineral content and the relationships of these elements in potato tubers, was analyzed. The study discussed the phenotypic variation range determined by genetic and environmental variability. The hypothesis presupposes that increased yields generated either by the application of mineral fertilizers and/or the use of cultivars with higher fertility may lead to a reduction in the concentration of minerals in potato tubers, was verified in the study.

PHOSPHORUS CONTENT IN SPRING BARLEY AND RED CLOVER PLANTS IN PURE AND MIXED SOWING
During the growth of underplant and cover crop interactions occur, the patterns and mechanisms of which are not totally known, particularly within the changeability of ecological factors. Joint use of environmental resou...
UTILIZATION OF NITROGEN, PHOSPHORUS AND POTASSIUM FROM COMPLEX FERTILIZERS BY VERY EARLY-MATURING1POTATO CULTIVARS
Potato has a relatively shallow root system and requires significant nutrient inputs to maintain tuber productivity and quality. Efficient application of the proper type and amount of fertilizer plays an important role i...
PERFORMANCE OF MULTI-COMPONENT MIXTURES OF SPRING CEREALS. PART 1. YIELDS AND YIELD COMPONENTS
A single-factor field experiment was conducted in 2009-2011 on light soil to determine productivity of multi-species mixtures of barley, oat, wheat and triticale. The cereals were grown in 3- and 4-species mixtures. The...

THE EFFECT OF SOWING METHOD AND BIOSTIMULATORS ON AUTUMN DEVELOPMENT AND OVERWINTERING OF WINTER RAPE
Background. The aim of the study was an assessment of the effect of using various sowing methods and types of applied biostimulators on pre-dormancy plant habit as well as on overwintering of three types of winter rape c...
