Abstract

Forecasts of global warming and periods of high temperature and drought occurring more frequent in Central Europe prompt us to study the physiological reaction of potato plants to these abiotic stresses. The purpose of the presented work was to assess the response of selected potato cultivars to high temperature and drought during the growing season under field conditions. The experiment was carried out with cultivars: Viviana (very early), Bohun (early), Bogatka, Honorata, Laskara, Lavinia, Malaga, Otolia (medium early). The field trial was set up in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. The high maximum temperatures during the day from June to August and higher level of rainfall in July contributed to secondary vegetation which lasted throughout August until mid-September. Summing up all the physiological defects of tubers and the evaluation of their share in the total yield allowed assessment of the tolerance of tested cultivars to heat and drought stresses during the growing season. It was found that the most tolerant cultivars were: Otolia, Honorata and Bohun.
