“…In contrast, Leonel et al [16] reported that potato tubers fertilized with increased P exhibited a lower concentration of total sugar contents. Wadas and Dziugieł [188] found that the use of plant biostimulant (the seaweed extracts Bio algeen S90 (Ascophyllum nodosum) and Kelpak SL (Ecklonia maxima), as well as humic and fulvic acids) had a significant effect on starch content in potato cultivars Denar, Lord, and Miłek tubers but did not affect the content of total sugars (glucose, fructose, and sucrose), monosaccharides (glucose and fructose), or sucrose. In contrast, Grze'skiewic et al [189] reported that the starch content of the potato tubers of the medium-early cultivar Muza was not affected by application of the Bio-algeen S90.…”

Interest in organic foods is increasing at a moment when humanity is facing a range of health challenges including the concern that some conventionally produced foods may pose possible adverse effects on human and livestock health. With the increasing human population, intensive production is increasingly trending towards high-input systems that aim to close yield gaps, increase crop yields, and develop new crop varieties with higher yield potential and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, all within the context of incorporating specific traits to satisfy consumer demand. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most consumed foods under different cultural diets; however, its production faces some challenges related to soilborne diseases, marketable yield and quality, sugars and dry matter content of the produced tubers, tuber content in terms of nitrate, minerals, vitamins, bioactive compounds, and antioxidants, and consumer appreciation regarding the sensory characteristics of tubers and processed products. Different studies have been investigating some of these challenges, with sometimes straightforward and sometimes conflicting results. This variability in research results indicates the general non-transferability of the results from one location to another under the same management practices in addition to differences in plant material. This review compares some characteristics of raw or boiled potato and processed products from potato tubers grown organically and conventionally. Ideally, such information may be of benefit in decision making by consumers in their dietary choices, by potato growers in their selection of crop management practices, and by scientists looking at potential areas for future research on potatoes.

“…The application of the seaweed extracts Bio-algeen S90 (A. nodosum) and Kelpak SL (E. maxima), as well as the humic and fulvic acids in HumiPlant (leonardite extract) increased marketable tuber yield 75 days after planting (the end of June) of very early potato cultivars 'Denar', 'Lord', and 'Miłek', on average, by 2.15 t•ha −1 , but it did not affect the dry matter content in tubers, presented in earlier papers [29,30]. Increased tuber yield can be associated with a reduction in the content of some mineral elements in the tubers [2].…”

This paper analyzes the effects of the foliar application of the seaweed extracts Bio-algeen S90 (Ascophyllum nodosum) and Kelpak SL (Ecklonia maxima), as well as the humic and fulvic acids in HumiPlant (leonardite extract) on the macronutrient content in tubers of very early potato cultivars (‘Denar’, ‘Lord’, ‘Miłek’) and their ionic ratios. The field experiment was carried out in central-eastern Poland over three growing seasons, using Haplic Luvisol. The biostimulants were applied according to the manufacturers’ recommendations. Potatoes were harvested 75 days after planting. The use of biostimulants increased potassium (K) content in tubers, on average, by 1.26 g∙kg−1 of dry matter compared with the untreated control tubers. Bio-algeen S90 did not affect the phosphorus (P) content in tubers, whereas Kelpak SL and HumiPlant reduced the phosphorus content, on average, by 0.063 g∙kg−1 of dry matter. The biostimulants did not affect calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), or sodium (Na) content in tubers. The use of biostimulants resulted in an increase in the mass ratios of K+:Ca2+, K+:Mg2+, and (K+ + Na+):(Ca2+ + Mg2+) in early crop potato tubers, compared with the untreated control tubers, but did not affect the mass ratios of Na+:Ca2+ and Na+:Mg2+ or the mass ratio of Ca:P. The macronutrient content in early crop potato tubers and their ionic ratios depended on the cultivar and environment conditions.

Algae are existing macroscopic materials with substantial benefits, including as important growth regulators and macronutrients and micronutrients for the growth of healthy crop plants. Biofertilizers obtained from algae are identified as novel production fertilizers or innovative biofertilizers without the detrimental impacts of chemicals. Seaweeds contain many water-soluble minerals and nutrients that plants can easily absorb and that are valuable for crop plants’ growth. At present, Ascophyllum nodosum (L.) Le Jolis extract outperforms chemical fertilizers in terms of increasing seed germination, plant development, and yield, as well as protecting plants from severe biotic and abiotic stresses. A. nodosum contains bioactive compounds that exhibit an array of biological activities such as antibiotic, anti-microbial, antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-obesity, and anti-diabetic activities. A. nodosum extract (AnE) contains alginic acid and poly-uronides that improve soil’s water-carrying ability, morsel structure, aeration, and capillary action, stimulating root systems in plants, increasing microbial activity in soil, and improving mineral absorption and availability. The scientific literature has comprehensively reviewed these factors, providing information about the different functions of A. nodosum in plant growth, yield, and quality, the alleviation of biotic and abiotic stresses in plants, and their effects on the interactions of plant root systems and microbes. The application of AnE significantly improved the germination rate, increased the growth of lateral roots, enhanced water and nutrient use efficiencies, increased antioxidant activity, increased phenolic and flavonoid contents, increased chlorophyll and nutrient contents, alleviated the effects of abiotic and biotic stresses in different crop plants, and even improved the postharvest quality of different fruits.
