In this study, researchers at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn in Poland investigated the effect of different production systems (i.e., conventional, integrated and organic) on the micronutrient and trace element content of tubers belonging to very early, early and medium-early maturing potato cultivars. Their findings were published in the journal Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B — Soil & Plant Science.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that organic farming is the best cultivation system to use as it ensures that crops receive proper nourishment, especially an ample supply of some essential microelements.
