CZ105-QK-potato-growing/TATER

Innovation of potato growing systems in buffer zones of water resources with reduced pesticide and fertilizer inputs resulting in water pollution reduction and preservation of potato growers’ competitiveness

Description

The innovation will be based on a replacement of plant protection products and fertilizers by sustainable procedures of growing.

Sector

A1.1Growing of non-perennial crops

Needs/ Problem statement

The issue of protecting water resources while maintaining the competitiveness of agricultural production in their vicinity is quite complex.

Objective

As the use of pesticides is being reduced, it is necessary to look for alternatives to growing potatoes in areas traditionally devoted to seed potato production.
