Extract

Seed potatoes are grown on the high plateaux of northern Israel where it is cool enough for a summer crop. The seed are used for winter production of ware potatoes in southern Israel. Irrigation is essential because of the arid summers. It is customary to apply much of the N fertilizer through the irrigation system in numerous small doses. Total N rates have ranged between 300 and 400 kg/ha. In 1975 various aspects of N, P, K fertilization for seed potato (Solanum tuberosum L., var. Up-To-Date) production were examined. There were no responses to P or K fertilizers so only the N fertilizer responses are reported here.
