Abstract
Since compared to other crops, the harvest index of dry matter, N, P, and K of potato plants is very high with a value above 0.70, it is important to determine how the mineral balance in individual leaves and tubers is regulated during potato growth. Therefore, ontogenetic changes in the N, P, K, Ca, and Mg contents in individual leaves and tubers of potato plants were examined. The results obtained were as follows.
