Abstract: The effect of foliar application of commercial seaweed extract on potato growth was studied in long-day conditions (60° 10' N 25°00' E) characterized by a cool and short growing season. The results showed that neither the doses, 0, 5, 10, 20 l/ha nor the spraying 24, 45, 58 days after the emergence had any remarkable influence on potato growth and yield if the other preconditions of production are in order. Only small, although insignificant benefit could be obtained with application done three weeks after emergence, clearly before tuber initiation.
