 abstract={As compared to 1977 potato acreage in Poland has decreased by about 1.4 million hectares and amounted to 958 thousand hectares in 2002. Potatoes are protected mainly against Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say, Phytophthora infestans and weeds. Number of chemical treatments against Colorado potato beetle fluctuated between 1.1. to 1. 7 per year, in average. In 1977-1987 mainly organophosphorous insecticides were applied, whereas in last years pyrethroids and nereistoxin were used. Chemical treatments against late blight fluctuated between 1.2 to 1.6 per year, in average. Observations performed in 1977-2002 showed that the application of contact fungicides considerably decreased. In weed control in potatoes only one treatment, in average, was performed using herbicides, mainly pre-emergence ones. Herbicides containing linuron and metribuzin were most frequently applied.},
