Open Access
|Jun 2025

Figures & Tables

Figure 1.

Content of nitrates in potato tubers depending on genotype and earliness group. Means sharing the same letter are not significantly different (p<0.05)

Figure 2.

Content of nitrites in potato tubers depending on genotype and earliness group. Means sharing the same letter are not significantly different (p<0.05)

Figure 3.

Relationship between nitrate and nitrite content in potato tubers of different earliness groups. Statistically significant differences in nitrate and nitrite levels among the earliness groups are annotated beside the graph. Means sharing the same letter are not significantly different (p<0.05).
