Effects of Climatic Conditions and Agronomic Practices on Health, Tuber Yield, and Mineral Composition of Two Contrasting Potato Varieties Developed for High and Low Input Producti... by Gultekin Hasanaliyeva, Ourania Giannakopoulou, Juan Wang, Marcin Barański, Enas Khalid Sufar, Daryl Knutt, Jenny Gilroy, Peter Shotton, Halima Leifert, Dominika Średnicka-Tober, Ismail Cakmak, Levent Ozturk, Bingqiang Zhao, Per Ole Iversen, Nikolaos Volakakis, Paul Bilsborrow, Carlo Leifert, Leonidas Rempelos

“…To test this hypothesis, we used an existing long-term factorial field experiment (the NEFG trials) to assess the effect of crop management practices (rotation design, fertilization regime, and crop protection methods) used in conventional and organic farming systems on crop health, tuber yield, and mineral composition parameters in two potato varieties, Santé and Sarpo mira, that were developed in breeding programs for high and low-input farming systems, respectively. …”
