e0“An experiment was conducted in the fields of Elmininkai Experimental Station (Anykiai distr., Eastern Lithuania)”
e1“Potato tuber yield in the treatments without mineral fertilisation was significantly increased by all types of composts applied in the experiment: biogas production waste compost -by 48.0%, green waste -43.5%, cattle manure -33.9% and sewage sludge -27.5%”
