Two factors were considered: A) two cultivars and B) sixteen levels of Fe and Zn. The response variables were: yield (t.ha-1) and the Fe and Zn content (mg.100g-1 FW) in tubers. The Fe and Zn content were quantified with atomic absorption technique. Result showed that yield for Waych'a (25-35 t.ha-1) and Pinta Boca (8-15 t.ha-1) are affected by the environment. There was significance for Fe*locality interaction and for Zn. The optimum level for Fe in El Paso was 10 kg.ha-1 of ferrous sulphate in order to achieve 15 t.ha-1 and for Zn in the three localities was 9.71 kg.ha-1 Zn sulphate to achieve 16 t.ha-1. In Fe content in tubers was significant for cropping. Boca Pinta (0.60 mg.100 g-1) was higher in 22% compared to Waych'a (0.49 mg.100 g-1). There was no crop*location interaction. However, for Zn there were significances for location, crop and levels. Pinta Boca had higher Zn content (0.30 mg/100 g-1) than Waych'a (0.26 mg.100 g-1). ER -
