In a field experiment, the growth and yielding of goldenrod (Solidago virgaurea L. ssp. virgaurea) and leiocaroposide content in herb depending on different NPK fertilization level and soil type were analysed. Mineral fertilization level was the factor that significantly affected yielding and parameters of goldenrod growth. Along with NPK level increase a tendency to increase number of stems, their height and inflorescences length as well as a significant increase of goldenrod raw material yields and at the same time decrease of leiocarposide content was observed. Increasing mineral fertilization doses were especially effective on poor in nutrients slightly loamy sand. Significantly higher raw material yields, but characterized by lower leiocarposide content were collected on rich in nutrients heavy loamy sand.
