Abstract

The aim of field experiment conducted in the years 2006–2009 was to assess glycoalkaloids content in tubers of new potato cultivars (very early — Impala, Miłek, Velox, early — Augusta, Ewelina, Nora, Oman, mid-early — Elanda, Marlen, Meridian, mid-late — Roko, late — Medea, Kuras, Pokusa) taking into consideration climate conditions in vegetation season. The investigations were carried out on the light soil fertilized organically with straw and aftercrop of white mustard. Mineral fertilization was applied in the doses of 100 kg N∙ha-1; 39,2 kg P∙ha-1; 99,6 kg K∙ha-1. The glycoalkaloids (cTGA) content was determined according to Bergers colorimetric method. It was found that the glycoalkaloids content in potato tubers was diversified stronger by genetic factor-cultivars (50%) than by environment factor-climate conditions in the years (27%). The content of glycoalkaloids varied from 29 mg·kg-1 for cultivar Impala to 134 mg·kg-1for cultivar Kuras. The highest glycoalkaloids content in tubers was detected in year 2007 with high quantity of rainfall and low air temperature.
