Paper presents the results of field experiments with broadcast (traditional) and row fertilization of potato plants. Nitrogen (carbamide) and multi-component fertilizing were placed under and on the both sides of planted seed potatoes. Yielding, starch content and spacing of the tubers under each plant were determined. The row fertilization method increased potato yields by 8.4-13.0% at significantly higher starch content in the tubers. Even high fertilizing rates did not affect the contents of harmful nitrogen compounds in potatoes. At row fertilizing with carbamide its localization on both sides of planted seed potatoes was of advantage, whereas the complex NPK fertilization was sufficiently effective at fertilizer placing either on both sides and under seed potatoes. Shallow distribution of planted potato tubers in a ridge makes easier the harvest with a potato-harvester and reduces its costs.
