Abstract: In order to ascertain the impact of different film mulching and ridge and furrow planting in continuous cultivation on growth, yield and quality of potato, the local cultivars ‘Xindaping’ as test material, studied the effects on six cultivation modes of potato growth, yield and quality, which were harrowed bedding system without film mulching (CK), harrowed bedding system with film mulching (T1), completely mulched alternating narrow and wide ridges with ridge planting (T2), completely mulched alternating narrow and wide ridges with furrow planting (T3), plastic mulched raised bedding system with bedding planting (T4) and plastic mulched raised bedding system with furrow planting (T5). The results indicated that, compared with CK, other five treatments with film mulching and ridge-furrow planting could all promote the growth of potato in continuous cultivation, among which the promoting effect of T3 was the greatest, and significantly increased the yield with 1.5%-29.8% and the yield of T2 was the highest. Moreover, compared with CK, there had significantly difference on amino acid content and reducing sugar content between film mulching and ridge-furrow treatment and CK, and amino acid content in CK and reducing sugar content in T4 was the highest. However, there had no difference found on content of dry matter, starch and soluble protein of tuber in all treatments.
