The purpose of the research is to substantiate the norms of fertilizers for the planned yield of 20–60 t/ha of tubers of the early-ripening potato variety Labella on gray forest soils of the Republic of Tatarstan. The research was carried out in 2019–2021 on the experimental fields of the Kazan State Agrarian University in the Kazan suburban zone of the Republic of Tatarstan. The object of research is the early-maturing Labella variety. The soil is gray forest, medium loamy. The terrain of the experimental area is flat. The capacity of the arable layer is 26–28 cm, the pH of the salt extract is 5.6, the humus content (according to Tyurin) is 3.42%, easily hydrolyzable nitrogen is 131–136, mobile phosphorus is 147–154, exchangeable potassium is 179–184 mg/kg of soil. The total area of the plot is 72.0 m2, the accounting area is 60.0 m2. The repetition of the experience is threefold. The predecessor is winter wheat. The planting depth is 8–10 cm. For planting, seed tubers of medium fraction (60–65 g), the first reproduction, germinated in the light at a temperature of 12–15 °C for 30 days, dried for 12 days in the light at a temperature of 12–15 °C were used. The application of fertilizers for the planned yield in doses determined by the calculation and balance method for a yield of 30–40 t/ha ensured the formation of 90–91% of the planned volume. As the level of planned yield increased, the probability of obtaining it decreased and against the background, calculated for a yield of 60 t/ha, amounted to 77.6%. The maximum starch content (19.4%) was achieved in the control variant (without fertilizers). A further increase in the background of applied fertilizers reduced the content of dry matter, starch, vitamin C, soluble carbohydrates and protein in tubers. The maximum marketability was obtained with a planned yield of 60 t/ha and amounted to 85.29%. The lowest cost of one ton of tubers – 1245 rubles. and the highest net income of 150500 rubles/ha were against a background calculated for a yield of 60 tons/ha.
