| Title : | THE INFLUENCE OF SOIL TYPE AND CLIMATIC CONDITIONS ON THE YIELD AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF POTATOES |
| Abstract : | Soil is the basic substrate, which, with its physical, chemical and biological properties, greatly influences the productivity of cultivated plants. Soil investigations are often reduced to a minimum, and one of the goals of this research is to give importance to the land itself and its influence on both the yield and the quality of cultivated plants. Research in the open field was carried out in a two-year period (2017-2018) at three locations with different altitudes (550, 90 and 1100 m) and three different types of soil (Eastern Sarajevo - fluvisol soil type, Rogatica - district cambisol soil type, Bijeljina - soil type humofluvisol). The field research included factors such as soil type (A) and year (B). The tested soil types differed significantly in terms of chemical, physical and microbiological characteristics and, in combination with climatic factors, significantly influenced the yield and morphological characteristics of potatoes. The yield of potatoes in the open field was significantly influenced by the type of soil and the year. Potatoes grown in the Bijeljina location (humofluvisol) had the highest yields, and the lowest in the Istočno Sarajevo location (fluvisol). Higher yields were achieved in 2018, compared to 2017, which was mostly influenced by the agroecological conditions at the time of the test. The favorable physical, chemical and microbiological properties of the humofluvisol soil in the Bijeljina locality influenced the yield of potato tubers, so the highest yield was achieved in this locality. |
