Summary

Field experiments were conducted on sand and sandy loam from 2000 to 2002 to determine how timing of ridging affects potato tuber yield and quality depending on soil texture and the use of catch crops. On sand, ridging in winter increased soil N availability in the 0-50 cm soil layer in spring from 5.7 to 6.8 mg N kg(-1) soil (19%) compared with ridging in autumn (P
