ABSTRACT
This work is based on data on monthly air temperature and precipitation and early potato yields in 2000-2013 obtained from seven COBORU (Research Centre for Cultivar Testing) stations in east-central Poland. The relationships between potato yields and average monthly air temperatures and monthly precipitation of the growing season were studied with step-wise multiple regression followed by polynomial regression. Precipitation affected early potato yields more than temperature, particularly in June and July.

Key Words: growing season; east-central Poland; yield; early potato; air temperature; precipitation.
