The study was based on a field experiment carried out at the Experimental Station at Zawady over 1995-1997 and aimed at determining the effect of some herbicides on the iron and manganese contents in table potato tubers. The experimental factors included 6 weed control methods and 4 cultivars of potato. The iron and manganese contents in potato tubers were determined with the AAS method. The content of iron depended significantly on the weed control methods, cultivar-specific characteristics of potato and the weather conditions in vegetation periods, while the concentration of manganese – on the cultivar and weather conditions.
