The paper presents results of studies on national systems used in potato cultivation. There are identified four potato production systems: intensive, extensive, integrated and ecological. Intensive system with the highest level is chemical use characterized by the highest total yield and the high rate of market yield in total yield. An important factor worsening the appearance of tubers are injuries caused by soil pests, infection with common scab, and rots. Good results were obtained for integrated and ecological systems. The most popular system of potato cultivation in Poland is extensive system although the results of its application were the worst.
