The main aim of the study was evaluation of the content of -solanine, -chaconine and total glycoalkaloids (TGA) in fourteen new potato cultivars with purple and red flesh in comparison with yellow- and white-fleshed control potatoes cultivated in a friendly way in integrated agriculture. The results were obtained from three-year trials on two locations. TGA levels in tubers’ flesh ranged from 33.69 to 167.77 mg/kg fresh matter (FM), and the ratio of α-chaconin to α-solanin from 1.18 to 3.78. No TGA safety limit was exceeded for any cultivar. The glycoalkaloids content was not significantly influenced by flesh colour, whereas the cultivar genotype had a decisive influence on their content. Eight cultivars with coloured flesh yielded a more favourable lower TGA content in comparison with the yellow-fleshed control cv. Agria (86.3 mg/kg FM); on the contrary six cultivars showed higher TGA values. The highest average TGA content was found in the purple-fleshed Bora Valley cultivar (165 mg/kg FM), the lowest was found in the red-fleshed Red Emmalie cultivar (43.6 mg/kg FM), whereas the white-fleshed cv. Russet Burbank reached 67.0 mg/kg FM. The glycoalkaloid content was significantly affected by location and year weather conditions.

In the three-year field trials (2009–2011) at two locations with different altitudes a total of 14 potato cultivars with different colour of flesh (yellow, white, red and purple) were grown. The content of total glycoalkaloids (TGA) was determined by HPLC. TGA content ranged from 18.8 to 102.4 mg/kg fresh matter and none of the cultivars reached the value of risk to human health. Conclusive and decisive influence on the content of the TGA was recorded in genotype. Individual cultivars reached 0.47 to 1.45 of the TGA content in the control cv. Agria. In terms of the colour of the flesh the highest TGA content was found in group of red-fleshed cultivars (1.53 × higher than the average of cultivars with yellow or white flesh); while red-fleshed cv. Rote Emma reached the absolutely lowest TGA content of 14 cultivars, which confirms the decisive role of genotype. On warm, dry habitats in the lowlands a higher TGA content was observed when compared with the amount raised in a typical potato field.

The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the herbicides and their mixtures and weather conditions on the content of vitamin C in tubers of three edible potato cultivars. A field experiment was conducted from 2008 to 2010 at the Zawady Experimental Farm (52°03'N and 22°33'E) belonging to Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities. The experiment was established as a two-factorial split-plot arrangement with three replicates. The experimental factors included: I – three edible potato cultivars: ‘Cekin’, ‘Satina’ and ‘Tajfun’; II – five weed control methods: 1. mechanical weed control only – control, 2. mechanical and chemical control – mechanical control + Command 480 EC (clomazone 480 g·dm–3), 3. mechanical and chemical control – mechanical control + Command 480 EC (clomazone 480 g·dm–3) + Dispersion Afalon 450 SC (linuron 450 g·dm–3), 4. mechanical and chemical control – mechanical control + Stomp 400 SC (pendimethalin 400 g·dm–3), 5. mechanical and chemical control – mechanical control + Stomp 400 SC (pendimethalin 400 g·dm–3) + Dispersion Afalon 450 SC (linuron 450 g·dm–3). Research results were statistically analysed using analysis of variance. The research demonstrated that vitamin C content in potato tubers ranged from 207.5 to 215.8 mg·kg–1 fresh matter and was significantly affected by cultivars. The examined herbicides and their mixtures significantly affected the potato tuber content of vitamin C, which increased from 3.3 to 10.4 mg·kg–1, on average, compared with control where only mechanical control had been used. The effect of care methods on the content of vitamin C was dependent on the genetic factor. In the ‘Santina’ and ‘Tajfun’ cultivars, the highest content was obtained due to the care with herbicides Stomp 400 SC and Dispersion Afalon 450 SC, while in the ‘Cekin’ cultivar, it was the same on all objects regardless of the care used. Moreover, meteorological conditions significantly influenced the vitamin C accumulation. The lowest vitamin C content was recorded in the final study year, when the highest annual rainfall sum was accompanied by the air temperature averaging 15.6°C.

Tubers from 7 potato varieties were analyzed for their rates of glycoalkaloid accumulation in response to stresses of three types of mechanical injury and low temperature storage. Mechanical injuries were found to greatly stimulate glycoalkaloid accumulation in both peel and flesh of tubers. The extent of glycoalkaloid accumulation appears to depend on variety, type of mechanical injury, and storage period. Most of the injury-stimulated glycoalkaloid accumulation occurred within 7 and 14 days after treatment. Cutting the tubers resulted in the highest content of glycoalkaloids both in flesh and peel up to levels that exceeded the upper safety limit of 200 mg/kg FW. Injury stimulated α-solanine accumulation in stored potato tubers is more than α-chaconine, resulting in a decrease in the α-chaconine: α-solanine ratio. When tubers were stored at low temperature, the rate of glycoalkaloid accumulation was found to be independent of the glycoalkaloid level at harvest. The greatest increase in total glycoalkaloid content of the seven varieties was found after two weeks of storage at both 4 ºC and 10 ºC. Further storage at these temperatures resulted in a decrease in the rate of glycoalkaloid accumulation in most of them. At 10 ºC glycoalkaloid content tended to increase more rapidly than at 4 ºC. The α-solanine content of the tubers showed an increase following low temperature storage.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of genotype, tuber flesh colour, site conditions, year of cultivation and storage on the content of ascorbic acid (AAC) in the tubers of twelve potato cultivars with coloured flesh, compared with the yellow-flesh cv. Agria. AAC ranged from 88.6 to 282.0 mg/kg fresh matter (FM) and it was significantly influenced by genotype. A significantly highest AAC, on a three-year average, was achieved by cv. Rosemarie with red flesh (218.9 mg/kg FM; 1.10–1.84-fold more than the other cultivars). Position number two was achieved by the control cv. Agria (199.4 mg/kg FM). The purple or red colour of the cultivars with coloured flesh did not have a significant effect on the AAC. A significantly higher (1.17 times) AAC was determined at the Uhříněves site with warmer climate and drier weather before the harvest, compared with the other site in Valečov. The AAC was also significantly affected by year of cultivation. Cold storage (4°C, 180 days) resulted in a significant decrease in AAC, which varied in dependence on the genotype of the cultivars (34.6% to 65.1%). However, no link to the colour of the tuber flesh was found.

Scales (Hemiptera, Diaspididae) are the dangerous crop and park-ornamental plant pests. They reproduce very quickly and cause great harm to plants, sometimes even lead to their complete destruction. Scales suck juices from plants, cause premature drying, dying and falling off leaves, dry branches, deformation of leaves, fruits and shoots, reducing annual growth of plants. Therefore the fight with these pests is rather topical in the agriculture. In this connection in this work the analysis of bioecological peculiarities of oleander scale on the territory of Azerbaijan, and also the detection of species content of parasites and predators, which regulate their number is conducted. We will mark that oleander scales in the wild there are the entomophages are vermin and predators that reduce their quantity. For realization of biological fight against people we studied the bioenvironmental features of wreckers, and also educed specific composition of vermin and predators that regulate their quantity. In a biological fight against these wreckers, one of basic questions is study of specific composition of these entomophages. The faunistic material on entomophages of this pest was collected from different biocenosis; the researched works were conducted in the laboratory and field conditions in Azerbaijan. The advanced and research studies that we conducted gave an opportunity to educe entomophages oleander scale that inflicts an enormous damage to the agricultural cultures and park-decorative plants. The method of breeding of effective types of entomophages is studied in laboratory terms. Firstly the biology of oleander scale on Apsheron peninsula and in Guba Khachmazskii area was studied. The results of long-term studies showed that oleander scale, having distributed on Apsheron peninsula, on olive trees gives 3 generations. Only adult female animals and maggots of I and II age spend winter. Awakening of the scales on olives takes place in March-April. In II and III decade of April the male animals begin their flight. In Guba Khachmazskii area the biology of this scale, dwelling on oleander bush was studied. On this plant the scale gives 3 generations. Young female animals, and also maggots of I and II age winter. As a result of the works conducted the following entomophages of oleander scale were detected: predator Rhyzobius lophanthae Blaisd, Chilocorus bipustulatus L., Chilocorus renupustulatus L; parasites: Aphytis chilensis Howаrd, Aspidiotiphagus citrinus Graw, Encarsia aurantii (Howard). The habitat of Rhyzobius lophanthae is Australia. At the end of the last century of this predatory beetle left to California, from there left to Italy and in other Mediterranean countries. In 1947 by chance was left to Georgia (Abkhazia). Maybe these useful predators in Azerbaijan were from Georgia. For diluting the entomophages from the local indigenous fauna the potato tubers were used, on which firstly the oleander scales, and then road-beetles Rhyzobius lophanthae, Chilocorus bipustulatus reproduced themselves. In the laboratory conditions the methods of diluting of these Coccinellidae was developed. Thus, firstly the way of diluting parasites of oleander scale was studied and developed – Aphytis chilensis Howard, Aspidiotiphagus citrinus Graw и Encarsia antantii (Howard). It was detected that predatory entomophage-chilocor in the natural conditions is ineffective, as their maggots and chrysalises are affected by other local parasites. In the laboratory conditions this beetle produce itself very well on the potato tubers, infected by oleander scale. However, we should note that among entomophage parasites Aphytis chilensis plays the huge role in destruction of scales. In dependence on the weather conditions this macrophage in the nature can give 3–4 generations. Also it was proved that beetle Rhyzobius lophanthae in the biological fight can be applied against all round scales. This predator is effective entomophage of oleander, olive scale, black pine-leaf scale, white peach scale, European fruit scale and cactus scale. In connection with this, Rhyzobius lophanthae can be applied in the biological fight against oleander scale and presently is irreplaceable and perspective entomophage.

В рамках развития органического сельского хозяйства актуально выявление сортов с высокой устойчивостью к вредным организмам. В условиях Удмуртской Республики на дерново-среднеподзолистой среднесуглинистой слабосмытой почве в 2017-2018 годах проводились исследования, целью которых была оценка новых и перспективных сортов картофеля различных по срокам созревания. Одной из задач было выявление повреждений клубней вредителями. Изучали сорта картофеля разных сроков созревания: раннеспелые Нандина, Ред Соня, Колетте, Беллароза, Винета, Джоконда, Раноми среднеспелые Джелли, Вираж, Гала, Рябинушка, Каптива, Алуэт позднеспелые Ред Фентази, Церата КВС, Танго. Полевой однофакторный опыт закладывался согласно методике полевого опыта. Клубневой анализ проводили в соответствии с ГОСТ 33996-2016 Картофель семенной. Технические условия и методы определения качества. Коэффициент адаптивности изучаемых сортов картофеля рассчитан по методу Л.А. Животкова. За два года исследований более урожайными были раннеспелые сорта: Нандина, Ред Соня, Беллароза, Раноми среднеспелые: Джелли, Каптива, Алуэт позднеспелые: Ред Фентази и Церата КВС. Повреждение клубней картофеля личинками щелкуна (проволочником) было очень высоким и составило в 2017 году в среднем по сортам 47, в 2018 году 61. В оба года исследований клубни были повреждены личинками озимой совки (в среднем 3-4 ), личинками майского хруща (1-2 ). В 2018 году наблюдалось повреждение полевками (в среднем по сортам 3 ). Раннеспелые сорта являются более адаптивными к условиям Удмуртской Республики (коэффициент адаптивности 1,22 и 1,31). Однако качество посадочного материала не соответствует ГОСТ по проценту повреждений вредителями. Поэтому необходима тщательная сортировка и доведение клубней до регламентируемых показателей. Для снижения поврежденности в полевых условиях картофель требуется размещать после бобовых и крестоцветных культур, проводить известкование почв и вносить перепревшие органические удобрения.As part of the development of organic agriculture, the identification of varieties with high resistance to pests is relevant. In the conditions of the Udmurt Republic, studies were carried out in 2017-2018 on the derno-medium-soil average carbon-free weak soil, the purpose of which was to assess new and permissive potato cultivars of different maturation times. One challenge was to identify damage to tubers by insect pests and the possibility of using them as planting material. Potato cultivars of different maturation dates were studied: early Nandina, Red Sonya, Kolette, Bellaroza, Vineta, Dzhokonda, Ranomi medium Dzhelli, Virazh, Gala, Ryabinushka, Kaptiva, Aluet late Red Fentazi, Tserata KVS, Tango. Field one-factor experiment was laid according to the method of experimental work. Tuberous analysis was carried out in accordance with GOST 33996-2016 Seed Potatoes. Technical conditions and methods of quality determination . The coefficient of adaptivity of the studied potato cultivars is calculated according to the method of L.A. Zhemkov. More crop-producing were early cultivars: Nandina, Red Sonya, Bellaroza, Ranomi average: Dzhelli, Kaptiva, Aluet late: Red Fentazi and Tserata CF. During the years of research, there was damage to potato tubers by wireworm in 2017 on average 47, and in 2018 61. The only cultivar, Ranomi, was not damaged by the wireworm in 2017. A small number of tubers was damaged by larvae of turnip moth (Agrotis segetum) (3-4) and larvae of white grub (1-2). During two years of research in the Udmurt Republic early cultivars were more adaptive, the coefficient of adaptability was 1,31 and 1,22. However, the quality of the planting material by the percentage of damaged tubers by pests does not comply with state standard. For growing in the region, early cultivars Nandin, Red Sonya, Kolette, Bellarosa, Vineta, Dzhokonda, Ranomi are more suitable from middle cultivars Dzhelli, Kaptiva and Aluet turned out to be more stable from late ripening Red Fentazi. Due to severe damage by insect pests, especially wireworms, careful sorting and bringing tubers to regulated parameters, liming of soils, and introduction of rotted organic fertilizers are necessary, as well as to place potatoes in crop rotation after legumes and cruciferous crops.

Field trials were conducted to evaluate the effect of simulated glyphosate drift rates applied to two non-irrigated potato cultivars in the late tuber bulking stage grown for potato seed production. Mother plants receiving a sublethal glyphosate application had similar yields regardless of the year or cultivar. ‘Red LaSoda' seed pieces visually evaluated the following spring had more sprout inhibition from glyphosate-treated plots. With ‘Russet Burbank', only seed pieces from mother plants that received more than 18 g ha−1 glyphosate showed sprout inhibition. Total yield reductions the year following glyphosate treatments were attributed to fewer and smaller tubers from plants that did not emerge or were delayed in emergence. Red LaSoda seed pieces from mother plants receiving ≥ 71 g ha−1 glyphosate yielded less than the nontreated. In 2005, Russet Burbank seed pieces from mother plants receiving ≥35 g ha−1 glyphosate had reduced yields, whereas in 2006, all glyphosate treatments reduced total yield compared with the nontreated.
