Abstract

The work presents results of research conducted in 2008–2011 to determine the effect of biomass of undersown catch crops, either winter-incorporated or left as mulch on the soil surface for spring incorporation, on chemical composition of potato tubers grown in the integrated and organic production system. The following two factors were examined in the study: 1. manuring with undersown catch crops: control (no undersown catch crop), farmyard manure, Persian clover, Persian clover + Westerwolds ryegrass, Westerwolds ryegrass, Persian clover — mulch, Persian clover + Westerwolds ryegrass — mulch, Westerwolds ryegrass — mulch; 2. production system: integrated and organic. Incorporated undersown catch crops were followed by table potato. The following contents were determined in potato tubers: dry matter, starch, vitamin C, reducing sugars and total sugars. Manuring with the biomass of undersown catch crops increased the potato tuber contents of dry matter, starch and vitamin C. By contrast, reducing sugars and total sugars declined. A mixture of Persian clover and Westerwolds ryegrass, whether winter or spring-incorporated, in the integrated production system contributed to the most favorable chemical composition of potato tubers.
