Abstract

The work presents results of a study carried out in 2006-2009 whose objective was to determine the influence of undersown catch crops, which were incorporated in autumn or left on the soil surface as mulch for spring incorporation, on the quality of table potato grown in the integrated and organic production systems. Two factors were examined in the study: 1. fertilization with undersown catch crops: control (no undersown catch crop), farmyard manure (FYM), 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. The aforementioned tuber characteristics of table potato fertilized with the biomass of undersown catch crops were similar to the traits of FYM-fertilized potato. The best quality, flavour in particular, was determined for tubers of potato fertilized with autumn-and spring-incorporated Persian clover. Raw flesh darkening and after cooking darkening of organic potato was significantly lower compared with the integrated production, but the tuber flavour was better in the integrated production system.
