Sweet potato Batat (lat. Ipomoea batatas L.) is a perennial vegetable culture that originates in South America. The aim of this study was to determine the agrochemical properties of soil in the area of Virovitica-Podravina County and to estimate the productivity and the suitability sweet potato growing in that area. Ten samples of soil were analyzed on the surface of the Virovitica-Podravina County, as part of the research conducted on the IPA SWEET (IPA IV Human Resources Development) project. The analyzed samples were taken at a depth of 0-30 cm and the basic agrochemical properties of the soil were determined: pH value, concentration of phosphorus and potassium, organic matter content and hydrolytic acidity. The analyzed samples with the pHKCl 5.04 average belonged to moderately acidic soil classes. The content of organic matter were ranged from 1.38% to 1.75% with an average of 1.55%, and this soil belongs to poorly humid soils, while the concentration of phosphorous phosphorus in the analyzed soils were ranged from 3.05 to 18.23 mg / 100 g of soil, and most of the analyzed samples belongs to the very low and low phosphorous class. The samples were well and highly potassium-rich with a potassium concentration of 17.93 to 32.11 mg / 100 g. Individual (N, P, K) and dual fertilizers (NP, NK, PK) were better for use because they provided precision balanced nutrition with a certain element according to the fertilizer recommendation. The recommended MAP doses were ranged from 200 to 280 kg / ha and 60% potassium chloride (KCl) from 10 to 410 kg / ha. The largest difference between the precise fertilization of individual fertilizers compared to the conventional fertilization of complex fertilizers was observed in samples recommended for the highest doses of complex fertilizers 10:20:30 as a result of potassium balance assessment. Due to the results obtained, the area of Virovitica-Podravina County is suitable for the sweet potato growing.
