The effect of different N and K sources on tuber nutrient uptake, total and graded yield of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) for processing

Long-term conservation tillage in potato rotations in Atlantic Canada: Potato productivity, tuber quality and nutrient content

“…Information on the mean and range for tuber mineral content are relatively scarce in the literature; thus, a summary of this information for the present study is given in Table 5. These data are similar to those reported by Harris (1992) for N, P, and K content in tubers for potato studies in various parts of the world, and for N and K in a recent study on a loamy sand soil in Germany (Haase et al 2007). Warman and Havard (1998) also showed similar macro-and micro-nutrient concentration in potato tubers for a study conducted on a sandy loam soil in Nova Scotia.…”

Influence of Organic and Mineral Fertilizers on Agronomic Traits of Potato

“…The combination of mineral fertilizers and farmyard manure has a positive influence on potato tuber yield, but the content of dry matter and starch is higher when fertilization is carried out solely with mineral fertilizers (Baniuniene i Zekaite, 2008). Haase et al (2007) obtained the highest potato tuber yield when using a combination of mineral potassium and organic nitrogen. Cattle manure did not have a consistent effect on the yield of potato tuber during different vegetation seasons which makes it an unreliable source of nitrogen for plants.…”

“…However, as nitrogen quantity increases up to 150 kg/ha, the yield of tuber increases as well, while the share of small tuber (<35 mm) decreases. Haase et al (2007) state that the yield of dry matter, the share of tuber fraction 40-65 mm and the share of tuber larger than 55 mm depend on fertilization, variety and vegetation year.…”

“…Its cultivation is limited by environmental conditions, and balanced fertilization with both mineral and organic fertilizers is necessary for its successful production. In order to achieve high yield of potato, a large quantity of nutrients is needed (Harris, 1992;Marschner et al, 1996;Haase et al, 2007). Kołodziejczyk (2014) states that the presence of nitrogen of up to 180 kg/ha has a positive influence on potato yield, but also on a market-sized tuber.…”

Influence of Organic and Inorganic Sources of Nutrient on Nutrient Content and Uptake by Tikhur (Curcuma aungustifolia Roxb.) Grown in Inceptisol of Chhattisgarh Plateau

“…Additions of inorganic and organic nutrients are not only improves yield and quality of tuber and other crops but also exert significant influence on physical, chemical and biological properties of soil (Ramesan et al, 1996, Maheswarappa et al, 2000, Love, et al, 2005, Haase, et al, 2007and Alam, 2007. The information on influence of organic and inorganic sources of nutrientson NPK content and uptake by Tikhur is meager.…”
