Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the size of seed potatoes and their planting density on yield and its structure. We investigated the following six varieties of potatoes: Agnes, Asterix, Denar, Fresco, Innovator and Typhoon. All varieties except Agnes, were planted in two stages of qualification. Seed potatoes differed in size, therefore, we adjusted recommended planting density for them. We assessed: the weight of the tuber, the number of eyes per tuber, number of shoots growing from one tuber and on the surface of 1 ha as well as the average weight of one shoot and on the surface of 1 ha, the yield of potatoes and the structure of harvested crop. A significant positive correlations were found between: the number of eyes on the mother tuber and the average weight of single tuber, shoot weight, the total yield; tuber weight and number of shoots; shoot number and shoot weight and yield.
