Introduction The efficiency of potato production depends to a large extent on the quality seeds that meet requirements growing region. main component this includes breeding, which creates genetic basis seeds. process establishing patterns between amount fertilizer application (“Aquarin 12,” “Bona Forte,” “Osmocote Exact High K”), their type, and biometric characteristics plants studied varieties “Guliver,” “Beauty Meshchera,” “Grand” was explored. Methods During experimental studies, methods variation statistics, technique field experiment with corresponding transformations achieve normal distribution, subsequent dispersion analysis were used. Results results research evaluation structural elements depending plant nutrition system testify expediency using nutrient solutions in cultivation irrespective type. In addition, it has been established increasing concentration base solution from 75 125% formula improves indicators minitubers, namely content starch, sugars, dry matter, crude protein, phosphorus, specific gravity, ash content, can contribute obtaining high-quality potatoes. Discussion Thus, use morphological physiological tools closed ecosystems is informative for predicting key agricultural plants. Additionally, integrating organic amendments biofertilizers, as supported by other could further enhance uptake health, especially under conditions low irrigation.
