Potato is a species with a relatively low transpiration coefficient, but the high biomass yield obtained from the surface unit in a short time span determines the high water needs set for 350 to 450 mm of rainfall during the growing season. The work determines the potato water requirements in individual phases of plant development, as well as analyzed the amount of atmospheric precipitation in Poland in recent years. The influence of irrigation on the yield and changes in the quality of potato tubers was also determined. In modern agrotechnics, natural rainfills replenished more and more often with irrigation allow to obtain very high potato yields. Methods improving the use of water needed for irrigation on potato plantations include: retention of winter water resources in reservoirs, cultivation on soils with high retention, compliance with optimal agrotechnical dates, cultivation of Inżynieria Ekologiczna Ecological Engineering Volume 19, Issue 6, December 2018, pages 14–25 https://doi.org/10.12912/23920629/95273 Received: 2018.09.15 Accepted: 2018.11.02 Published: 2018.12.01 „Europejski Fundusz Rolny na rzecz Rozwoju Obszarów Wiejskich: Europa inwestująca w obszary wiejskie”.

Physical, chemical and biological methods are used to remove hydrocarbon pollution. Comparing the abovementioned methods, it can be stated that the biological ones are currently the most commonly used in the liquidation of hydrocarbons contaminating the soil and water environment, not only in the in-situ remediation process (in the place of contamination), but also in ex-situ remediation (the removal of contaminated soil from the site contamination and further processing in the recovery process). The biological method associated with physical methods was used to eliminate pollution of post-industrial land contaminated due to unsuitable oil management both during its existence and after the end of industrial activity in the area. For the soil and earth remediation, biopreparation based on indigenous microorganism was used.

To counteract the effects of excessive soil contamination, the Regional Chemical and Agricultural Station in Gliwice (OSChR) and the Silesian Agricultural Chamber in Katowice undertook activities aimed at introducing a liming program co-financed from the funds of the Voivodship Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management in Katowice. Implementation of the program was possible thanks to extensive expertise based on the results of agrochemical research carried out by OSChR in Gliwice. The launched and continued program brings real results as evidenced by the assessment of soil research results from the years 2014–2017 as compared to the 2004–2009 situation.

It was supported by examples from practice and also presented research and opinions of the best specialists in this field in the world. Each device has its strengths and weaknesses. The ability to use it without proper interpretation of the obtained results may lead to wrong conclusions and thus the decisions made. The use of simple diagnostic equipment has been discussed.
