o:611 Suitability of leached soils of Western Serbia for potato growing en Abstract: Potato can be grown on a large number of soil types. In order to determine the suitability of leached soils for potato growing in Western Serbia, a trial was set up with the aim of observing agrophysical and agrochemical properties of this type of soil in the region of the Radočelo mountain massif in 2020. Three soil profiles were opened. Results pointed out that leached soils of Western Serbia are suitable for potato growing according to their agrophysical properties, but unfavourable as regards some agrochemical parameters (a low content of available phosphorus, high values of active, exchangeable, and hydrolytic acidity). Nevertheless, it is possible to achieve high yields that approach the biological potential of potato using appropriate soil amendment practices (timely application of proper amounts of the complex NPK fertiliser with increased phosphorus and potassium levels, basal liming of the soil along with manuring, and use of physiologically neutral nitrogen fertilisers). leached soil, potato, agrophysical properties, agrochemical properties 1552099 10.5937/AASer2152179D 2022-09-09T07:12:22.096Z 44 yes 46 Marijana Dugalić University of Niš, Faculty of Agriculture 46 Goran Dugalić University of Niš, Faculty of Agriculture 46 Ljiljana Bošković-Rakočević University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Agronomy 46 Zoran Dinić Institute of Soil Science 0000-0003-4109-4106 46 Anita Todorović University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Agronomy application/pdf 288686 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:611 no yes 1 70 92000001 71A05 Acta Agriculturae Serbica 70 52 179 182 2021
