A method of forecasting rainfall and mean temperature is presented. It is based on plant phenology and probability distribution of both random variables. This method makes it possible to give a forecast for each recorded phenological stage; the time horizon of the longest of them exceeds 90 to 100 days. A verification test based on data from different regions of Poland proved the method to be very...
In order to show the influence of soil pH and soil suitability complex on potato yield, long term experiments were carried out at different N doses (40 - 160 kg N ha⁻¹) and under different soil and climatic conditions (40 - 160 kg N ha⁻¹) in 1971 - 1990. Experiment results for each of the four soil suitability complexes were classified according to soil pH into following groups: pH in KCl 4.5; 4.6...
Changes in the contents of some selected microbiogenous elements (Cu, Mn, Fe, Zn) in haulms and tubers, yield of tubers and content of nitrates in potatoes grown in soil contaminated with cadmium were evaluated in pot experiments. Under conditions of constant supply of N, P, and K, the natural cadmium reserve in soil (0.21 mg Cd·kg⁻¹) was adapted with supplements of Cd (NO₃)₂, to content of 0.4, 1,...
The effect of soil mulching with green manure at potato cultivation on the growth, quality and yielding of tubers were investigated on the light loamy soil in 1998/1999. The sowing rate of oil radish used as green manure was 15 kg·ha⁻¹. Compaction of soil in the ridges - the space of tubers’ growth, by wheels of tractor-implement set, is a negative factor at potato cultivation. It results in increased...
In three-year field trials the effect of row covering with early potatoes on selected factors of tuber quality was evaluated. Experiments were conducted the Přerov on Labem locality in the Czech Republic with Adora and Impala potato cultivars. On the basis of statistical analysis of the results it is evident that row covering with the fleece 60 days after planting positively influenced dry matter...
Over 2003 to 2005 in Lithuanian Agricultural University the laboratory research was carried out concerning the effect of caraway seed and dill seeds essentials oils on the storage of five potato cultivars. Research results showed that after 7 months of storage the smallest natural mass losses occured in potatoes of Goda cultivars, which were treated by plant inhibitors. The smallest mass of sprouts...
In the two-year field trials the effect of row covering of early potatoes were investigated on the total tuber yield and the yield of ware potatoes. Experiments were performed with cv. Adora at the Přerov on Labem locality in the Czech Republic. Row covering with textile positively influenced the yield of ware potatoes during harvest 67 days after planting (in the variant with the textile removed...
The experiment was conducted during two years (2008-2009) in Leškovice (the Czech Republic) on potato cv. 'Finka and Katka’ at 0.45 x 0.80 m spacing. In the experiment 2 types of mulch were used: textile mulch and grass mulch. The use of grass mulch decreased the attack of potato haulm by Phytophtora infestans by 8.2% as compared to the control variant (without mulch) and textile mulch decreased the...
The studies were conducted in 2005-2007 in Lithuanian University of Agriculture. The purpose of research was to establish the influence of mechanical injury of potato tubers on their quality. The experiment showed that during storage some chemical-physiological features had been changing constantly. The potatoes for research were grown under usual conditions in Vokė Branch Station (Lithuanian Institute...
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of genotype in a total of twelve varieties with purple- and red-fleshed tubers on the content of important antioxidants - total polyphenols (TP), ascorbic acid (AA) and total anthocyanins (TA). Precise field experiments were performed in 2008 and 2009 in the Czech Republic. Genotype of the variety showed a significant influence on the contents of the...
Potato tubers accumulate non-starch polysaccharides. A higher level of carbophydrates is correlated with a higher amount of potato pulp and high starch losses during technological processing. During the extraction of starch from potato tubers, glycoalkaloids, free amino acids and proteins are transferred to starch milk, which increases its foaminess and hinders further processing. Another important...
