Abstract
The destruction of haulm is a conventional practice in potato cultivation. Potato haulm can be destroyed mechanically or chemically or with the combination of both means. In the presented study, the different haulm destruction techniques were compared for their efficacy in haulm desiccation and influence in potato tuber yield. The experiments were conducted on two mid early potato cultivars — Balbina and Mila in the years 2000–2002 in Bonin (zachodniopomorskie province). The mechanical haulm destruction was as efficient as the chemical treatment. However, the combination of mechanical and chemical method shortened time of haulm desiccation (for about 2 days) compared with chemical or mechanical haulm killing alone. Moreover, no haulm regrowth was observed. Early haulm destruction with all methods significantly reduced total yield of tubers only for the cultivar Mila (in average about 8%). There was no significant difference for both Balbina and Mila in the yield of seed tubers. According to our data, mechanical haulm destruction could be used as an alternative to chemical desiccation in organic farming.
