Abstract

Summary Currently different production systems are used for potato production in the country. The most common are conventional systems with different degree of intensity. Among certified systems in Poland, ecological and integrated production are used. Integrated production is a system similar to the medium-heavy conventional system and should be regarded as the most convenient for Polish farmers. In practice, integrated production of potato is the least popular system. This is due to the requirements for certification process and insufficient recognition of agricultural products produced in this system on the market. Based on the results of long-term research conducted by Plant Breeding and Acclimatization Institute – National Research Institute, Branch Jadwisin, different systems of potato production were compared. It was stated that the use of pesticides and fertilizers in the integrated production system was not higher as compared to the sustainable technologies of potato cultivation.
