Abstract

Results of research carried out in 2008–2011 are presented in this paper. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of undersown catch crops, which were either autumn-incorporated or left on the soil surface as mulch for spring incorporation, on the chemical composition of potato tubers grown in the integrated and organic production system. The following two factors were studied: I — organic fertilization, including undersown catch crop: control (no undersown catch crop or farmyard manure application), farmyard manure, fertilization with serradella and Westerwolds ryegrass incorporated in autumn, serradella — mulch, Westerwolds ryegrass — mulch; II — production system — integrated and organic. Table potato followed undersown catch crops in the first year after their application. Dry matter, starch, vitamin C, reducing sugars and total sugars were determined in potato tubers. Dry matter, starch and vitamin C contents were higher whereas reducing sugars and total sugars were lower in the tubers of potato fertilized with undersown catch crops. Tubers of potato fertilized with serradella, either autumn or spring-incorporated as mulch in the integrated production system, contained more dry matter and vitamin C whereas their reducing sugars and total sugars were significantly lower compared with potato plants following farmyard manure. The tuber chemical composition of potato following farmyard manure did not differ significantly from potato manured with Westerwolds ryegrass, regardless of how the undersown catch crop had been applied.
