EFFICIENCY OF CHELATED MICROELEMENTS USE IN THE TECHNOLOGY OF KOLOBOK POTATO CULTIVAR GROWING
In Russia, even 50% of the yielding potantial of cultivars has not been achieved yet. That is why the search and substantiation of technological cultivation methods, which would boost the potato crop yields, is in progress. The research aimed to develop the potato growing technology with the use of innovative products to improve efficiency of high quality food potato production is a task of vital importance. The article presents the research data on assessment of the effect of Tiaton and Chelaton Extra innovative products, which contain chelated microelements, on the yielding capacity of Kolobok mid-season potato cultivar. The use of the tested products increased the value of marketable yielding capacity by 3.5-3.7 t/ha (13.5-14.2%) that verifies the feasibility of these products for potato growing.
