The purpose of the three-year-long field experiment was to identify the effect of the UGmax soil fertilizer (microbiological preparation) on the presence of Streptomyces scabies on tubers of two edible potato cultivars. The experiment was established using the randomized split-block method, in three replications, in central Poland (52°03’N; 22°3’E), on the soil consisting of loamy sands, slightly acidic and acidic. The examined factors included: 1st factor: edible potato cultivars (Satina and Typhoon), 2nd factor: doses and dates of application of the UGmax soil fertilizer (1. control object without UGmax; 2. UGmax applied to soil before planting tubers at a dose of 1.0 dm3∙ha-1; 3. UGmax applied to soil before planting tubers at a dose of 0.5 dm3∙ha-1, when the height of plants is about 10–15 cm, and in the flower buds making phase at a dose of 0.25 dm3∙ha-1; 4. UGmax before planting tubers at a dose of 1.0 dm3∙ha-1 and when the height of plants is about 10–15 cm, and in the flower buds making phase at a dose of 0.5 dm3∙ha-1; 5. UGmax when the height of plants is about 10–15 cm, and in the flower buds making phase at a dose of 0.5 dm3∙ha-1). Symptoms of common scab were assessed on a 9-point scale on 100 tubers randomly collected from different experiment objects. As a result of the study, it was demonstrated that treatments with the use of the UGmax soil fertilizer limited the occurrence of common scab on potato tubers and affected the average level of infestation of the sample and the average level of infestation of infested tubers.
Field experiments were carried out in 2015–2017 with the use of bio-stimulators on an individual farm in Międzyrzec Podlaski. The experiment was based on a random split-plot method. The influence of two first factors was examined. The primary factor included three varieties of edible potato: Honorata, Jelly, Tajfun, and the secondary factor involved five ways of using bio-stimulators: Kelpak SL, Titanit, Green Ok, Brunatne Bio Złoto Cytokinin. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of bio-stimulators on the tastiness and darkening of the pulp of raw and cooked tubers after 10 minutes. The effectiveness of the application of individual bio-stimulators in the cultivation of edible potato varieties: Honorata, Jelly and Tajfun was compared with the control object (without using bio-stimulators) sprayed with water. The methods of using bio-stimulators did not change the tastiness and darkening of the pulp of raw tubers, but they had a significant impact on the darkening of the pulp of the cooked tubers. The raw and cooked pulp of the Honorata variety darkened the least, and the Jelly variety turned out to be the tastiest, scoring 8.0 points on a scale of 1–9 compared to the remaining varieties.
The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of the soil fertilizer UGmax on zinc, copper and manganese contents in potato tubers. A three – year field experiment was carried out on soil which belonged to a very good rye complex. The experiment was established according to randomized split-plot method, in three replications. The following factors were examined: factor I: edible potato varieties (Satina and Typhoon), and factor II: doses and timing of UGmax application. As a result of conducted research, significantly smaller copper content in potato tubers was found, after usage of the soil preparation UGmax, in comparison with a control object, while zinc and manganese content continued to show only a downward trend. The influence of weather conditions and potato varieties on the copper cumulation in the dry mass of potato tuber was proved. An important influence of the factors of the experiment on the uptake of researched macroelements with the potato tuber yield was also shown.

The paper presents optical fiber sensor based on an optical fiber capillary with a luminescent side ribbon. Siliceous core was doped with Sm3+ ions which ensure multi colour luminescence in visible spectrum (550-720 nm). The special fibre construction allows to measure concentration of Rhodamine B (RhB) solution in rage of 0.01 - 0.15% ww. The sensitivity was obtained by using combination of measurements at 564 nm and 601 nm wavelengths and it reached -275•103 %-1. The use of certain wavelengths at measurement procedure allows to obtain the increase of selectivity and sensitivity of optrode. The results allow to reach the conclusion that the designed optrode has the ability to be used for construction of compact luminescent sensors, measuring selected properties of the solutions.
The experiment was conducted on slightly acidic soil classified as very good rye complex. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of plant–care procedures with the use of herbicides and their mixtures on the number and weed species composition in the field of three edible potato cultivars: Satina, Tajfun and Cekin. The weed infestation was determined at two dates: before the row closure and before tuber harvest. The most effective in decrease of weed infestation, before the row closure as well as before the harvesting of the tubers, appeared to be variations in which herbicides mixtures were used: Command 480 EC 0.2 l ha-1 + Dispersive Afalon 450 SC 1.0 l ha-1 and Stomp 400 SC 3.5 l ha-1 + Dispersive Afalon 450 SC 1.0 l ha-1. According to the conducted researches, the potato cultivars did not have significant effect on weed infestation marked at the beginning and at the end of vegetation.
A field experiment was carried out in the Agricultural Experimental Station Zawady (52°03’ N; 22°33’E), owned by the Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities in 2005–2007. The research was designed as a two factors randomized block with three replicates. The factors examined in the experiment included two potato varieties – Irga and Balbina and four weed control methods combined mechanical and chemical for herbicides application: Plateen 41,5 WG (metribuzin + flufenacet), Racer 250 EC (fluorochloridone), Sencor 70 WG (metribuzin), and control object – mechanical weeding before and after potato sprouting. The study was designed to test the influence of weed control methods on nitrates content in consumption potato tubers. The nitrates (V) content depended on the weed control methods, varieties and weather conditions throughout the growing season. The highest nitrates (V) content was determined when weeds were controlled mechanically and chemically using Sencor 70 WG. The study results demonstrated that Balbina had a higher concentration of nitrates (V) compared with Irga.
A 3-year field experiment covered two methods of soil tillage, conventional and sim-plified, as well as the following herbicide options: Plateen 41,5 WG, Plateen 41,5 WG + Fusilade Forte 150 EC, Plateen 41,5 WG + Fusilade Forte 150 EC + adjuvant Atpolan 80 EC, Barox 460 SL, Barox 460 SL + Fusilade Forte 150 EC, Barox 460 SL + Fusilade Forte 150 EC + adjuvant Atpolan 80 EC and control object – mechanical weeding. Potassium content and its removal by potato tubers significantly depended on soil tillage methods, weed control methods and research years. More potassium was contained in tubers harvested from conventional tillage compared with the re-duced tillage. Herbicides applied in the potato field significantly decreased potassium content in tubers compared with the control object. Simplifications of soil tillage de-creased potassium accumulation in potato tubers compared with the conventional till-age. Significant changes were also observed in content of potassium and its removal by 1 tonne tubers between the experimental years.
The study utilized data from a field experiment carried out at the Experimental Station in Zawady owned by the University of Natural Sciences and Humanities in Siedlce in the years 2005–2007. The experimental factors included two soil tillage systems and seven weed control methods in potato. Iron, copper and zinc in weeds were deter- mined with the AAS method. The trace element content in weed dry matter before row closure of potato depended significantly on soil tillage methods (excluding Cu), weed control methods and weather conditions, and, prior to tuber harvest, on soil tillage and weather conditions during the growing season. The uptake of Fe, Cu, and Zn by weeds from the area of 1 hectare depended on the experimental factors, weed biomass and weed chemical composition.

In this article we have given an overview of different scheduling algorithms for virtual output queuing switches. We have also proposed three new scheduling algorithms for VOQ switches called Hierarchical Round-Robin Matching (HRRM), Matching Matching with Random Selection (MMRS) and Maximal Matching with Round-Robin Selection (MMRRS). Evaluation of the proposed algorithms was performed under Bernoulli and bursty packet arrivals with uniform and non-uniform distributions to output ports. Performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm under different traffic models is given and compared with other well-known algorithms. The simulation results show that MMRRS and HRRM achieves 100% throughput and low MTD for high loads.

The paper is concerned with initial problems for nonlinear parabolic functional differential equations. A general class of difference methods is constructed. A theorem on the error estimate of approximate solutions for difference functional equations of the Volterra type with an unknown function of several variables is presented. The convergence of explicit difference schemes is proved by means of consistency and stability arguments. It is assumed that given function satisfy nonlinear estimates of the Perron type with respect to a functional variable. Results obtained in the paper can be applied to differential integral problems and equations with retarded variables. Numerical examples are presented.
