ABSTRACT
The experiment was carried out in the years 2014-2016 in two sites: Osiny-south-east Poland and Jadwisin- central Poland. In both places potatoes were grown under two crop production systems: organic and integrated. In Osiny the plantation was placed on heavier soil and in Jadwisn on lighter one. Six potato cultivars from different group of maturity were tested. The biggest impact on the tuber yield and its structure had a production system, followed by years and cultivars. A place of growing was the least important. The average yield obtained in an integrated system was higher by above 30% than in the organic system, the fact that much greater differences occurred on the lighter soil. Cultivar differences concerned only the share of large tubers. Site of growing affected only the total yield. The tested factors in the less way affected the commercial tubers quality. The share of tuber disorders was not strictly dependent on the production system and it can not be said that in the organic system tuber quality was worse.
