Abstract
The work presents results of studies conducted in 2006–2009. Our goal was to determine the effect of undersown catch crops, which were either autumn-incorporated or left as mulch on the soil surface till spring, on the yields of table potato cultivated under either an integrated or organic farming system in the reorganization period. Two factors were examined in the experiment: I — undersown catch crops applied as fertilizer (not fertilized control, farmyard manure, white sweet clover (Melilotus albus), Westerwold ryegrass, white sweet clover — mulch, Westerwold ryegrass — mulch); II — an integrated and organic farming system in the reorganization period. The undersown catch crops were incorporated prior to table potato planting. The total fresh mass yield of potato tubers was determined during potato harvest and marketable yield after the harvest. Also, tuber samples were taken to determine dry matter, starch and total protein contents which were then expressed in terms of yields of these components. In both farming system the highest yields of potato tubers were harvested from white sweet clover mulch-fertilized plots. Higher yields were recorded under the integrated rather than organic farming system in the reorganization period. White sweet clover was found to have the same manuring value as farmyard manure irrespective of the timing of its application and farming system of potato.
