Le bas niveau de la fertilité des sols à Kabinda et la rareté des engrais chimiques sur le marché orientent les agriculteurs à recourir à une fertilisation palliative et durable. Cette étude a été réalisée dans le but d’évaluer l’effet des amendements organiques sur la croissance et le rendement de la pomme de terre. L’essai était installé suivant un dispositif en blocs complets randomisés. Les traitements en cinq répétitions ont été constitués d’un témoin (T0), de la bouse de vache (T1), de cendres (T2) et de la biomasse fraiche de Entada abyssinica (T3). Les observations ont porté sur les paramètres de croissance et de rendement et l’analyse de la variance (ANOVA) a été appliquée pour la comparaison. Les résultats obtenus renseignent que la pomme de terre se comporte positivement sous effet d’amendements (P<0.05) comparativement au sol non amendé. Le plus grand nombre de feuilles est démarqué nettement au traitement à base des cendres avec 4 feuilles contre 2 feuilles pour le témoin. L’apport de la cendre à la dose de 10 kg/ha sur la culture de la pomme de terre a augmenté le rendement de 1 t/ha par rapport au sol non amendé. L’utilisation de ces amendements dans une région comme Kabinda contribuerait au développement de l’agriculture en luttant contre l’insécurité alimentaire et la pauvreté. Ainsi donc, L’utilisation de la cendre est recommandable pour la production de la pomme de terre vu ses effets sur la culture et sa disponibilité dans la ville de Kabinda.Mots clés : Fertilité, engrais chimiques, production, Solanum tuberosum , Kabinda. English Title: Effect of organic amendments on growth and yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) on soil degraded in Kabinda area, Democratic Republic of CongoThe low level of soil fertility in Kabinda and the scarcity of chemical fetilizers on the market guide farmers to seel palliative and sustainable fertilization. This study was carried out in order to assess the effect of organic amendments on the growth and potato yield. The trial was installed using a ramdomized complete block system. Five Treatments in five repetitions, consisted of a witness (T0), cow dung (T1), ash (T2) and Entada abyssinica fresh biomass (T3). Observations focused on growth and yield parameters and analysis of variance (ANOVA) at the 5% threshold was applied for comparison betwen treatments. The results obtained indicate that the potato behaves positively under the effect of amendments (P<0.05) compared to unamended soil. The greatest leaves number is clearly demarcated in the ash based treatment with 4 leaves versus 2 leaves for the witness treatment. The addition of ash to the potato crop increased the yield by 1 t/ha compared to the unamended soil. The use of ash is recommendable for the production of potato in the city of Kabinda.Keywords : Fertility, chemical fertilizers, production, Solanum tuberosum, Kabinda

Summary. Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) cv. ‘Delaware’ were grown over winter on a yellow Karrakatta sand amended with Alkaloam–gypsum (AG; previously referred to as red mud–gypsum) at up to 240 t/ha, both freshly-applied (2 experiments) and applied 2.5 years earlier (1 experiment). Several levels of phosphorus fertiliser (0–600 kg P/ha) were applied to the freshly-applied AG and a single level (600 kg P/ha) was applied to the previously-applied AG. Amendment of the soil with 60 t AG/ha (freshly-applied) doubled the amount of fertiliser phosphorus retained in the top 30 cm of soil when 100 kg P/ha was applied. On freshly-applied AG, bicarbonate-extractable phosphorus showed an upward trend with level of AG, being 16 mg/kg (0–15 cm) at 0 t AG/ha and 34 mg/kg at 90 t AG/ha. This will decrease phosphorus fertiliser requirements in the following potato crop by 49% relative to unamended soil based on previously published soil test standards. Amendment with freshly-applied AG increased the level of applied phosphorus required for 99% of maximum petiole phosphorus concentration by 46 and 139% in the 2 experiments compared with unamended soil. Maximum yield was significantly reduced by 7–10% at 60 t/ha of freshly-applied AG compared with unamended soil while on residual AG it was only reduced at 240 t/ha (12%) (trend only). Yield reductions were not correlated with a reduced availability of phosphorus, however, they may have been due to a reduced availability of potassium. The concentrations in the tubers of antimony, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, mercury and nickel did not exceed legal limits on soil amended with AG.

Background: In a Mediterranean agrosystem of low productivity, a study was carried out on the effects of municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) compared to other organic and inorganic amendments on the production, quality and yield of three potato varieties (Solanum tuberosum L.) and an advanced clone. Method: Simultaneously, the agronomic and nutritional parameters of the potato crop, the degree of bioavailability and the possible risks of heavy metal contamination were studied. Results: Two stages are observed in the yield and content of macro, micronutrients and heavy metals. The addition of all amendments and especially that of urban waste compost increased potato production and the content of macronutrients, micronutrients and heavy metals in the soils of all varieties, showing a progressive accumulation in tubers. Nevertheless, the performance is not maintained over time with a notable decrease during the second stage of its application. Conclusion: Highlighting the potato clone A7677 not only in its performance but also in the concentration of iron, zinc, copper, essential micronutrients for human consumption and especially for populations deficient in these trace elements.

This article aims to examine the effect of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) on the growth and yield of G3 seeds of potato (solanum tuberosum L.) varieties of medians. The experiment was conducted in the experimental garden of The Faculty of Agriculture of Winaya Mukti University Tanjungsari, Sumedang with a height of 850 meters above sea level with the order of land Andisol. Time trials are conducted from May to August 2019. The design used is a simple RandomIzed Group Design consisting of five types of phosphate Solubilizing bacteria, namely without PSB, Pseudacidovorax intermedius, Agrobacterium fabrum, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Serratia nematodiphila and repeated five times each. The results of the experiment showed that the administration of this type of PSB was able to increase the height of the plant and the number of leaves at the age of 28 DAP and 42 DAP and give the result of the number of potatoes and the weight of the perpetak tubers on the potato crop of the medians varieties better.
