The work presents a comparison between new methods of potato growing, comprising field crops and crops with an autumn formation of ridges and the traditional method of ridge crops. Comparison indices were as follows: - guantity of crop in t/ha, - contribution of tuber dimension fractions to the crop in %, - index of tuber damage during the harvest, - resistance of ridges and field patches to washouts after rain (natural or artificial). The analysis of the research proved a positive influence of new methods of crop growing on the formation of the mentioned above indices in relation to traditional methods of crop growing, and that the discussed new technique of crop growing can become an alternative for traditional methods, assuming their limited range of use.
