Foliar fertilization in shaping the potato yield in the conditions of south-eastern Poland

Abstract

The study aimed at determining the effect of macro- and microelements contained in foliar fertilizers on potato productivity of tubers. The field experiment was conducted in 2015–2017 in Uhnin using the random blocks method. The first order factor were 2 cultivars of potatoes, the second order factor were 3 foliar fertilization technologies and standard object − without foliar spraying. Mineral fertilizers were constant. Foliar fertilizers were used in accordance with the recommendation of the producers. Foliar fertilizing has contributed to a significant increase in total and commercial yield. The cultivars determined the majority of potato's economic traits.
