Abstract

The aim of integrated farming systems research is to develop sustainable farming systems from an economic, technical and environmental point of view. Strategies for crop rotation, crop protection and fertilization are briefly discussed in relation to potato production. The effects of different levels of fertilization on the incidence of some pests and diseases of potatoes are discussed in more detail, based on a literature study. Some results of potato production on the three farms for integrated arable farming in the Netherlands are also presented.
