Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficiency of application of four complex multi-nutrient fertilizers: HydroComplex (NPKMgS 12-11-18-3-8 + B, Mn, Zn, Fe), Nitrophoska® blue special (NPKMgS 12-12-17-2-6 + B, Zn), Polimag® S (NPKMgS 10-8-15-5-14 + B, Cu, Mn, Zn) and Viking 13 (NPKMgCaS 13-13-21-1-4-1) in cultivation of very early potato cultivars Aster, Fresco and Gloria. The complex multi-nutrient fertilizers were compared with single-component fertilizers (ammonium nitrate, single superphosphate, potassium sulphate). The fertilization efficiency was evaluated on the basis of agricultural and physiological efficiencies and based on unit profitability index and average profitability of fertilization. The productive effects of applying HydroComplex, Polimag® S and Viking 13 were similar to those observed with the single-component fertilizers. However, when Nitrophoska® blue special was applied, the yield of marketable tuber fraction was significantly higher than that obtained using the single-component fertilizers. The highest agricultural efficiency of fertilization characterized the complex multi-nutrient fertilizers HydroComplex and Nitrophoska® blue special, whereas the highest physiological efficiency was recorded with the fertilizers Viking 13 and Polimag® S. Only the use of HydroComplex and Nitrophoska® blue special appeared to be economically profitable. The fertilization efficiency depended on the potato cultivar.
