The correlation between specific gravity and dry matter and starch content in potato tubers of particular Polish varieties and strains was analysed. High correlation coefficient of r sub (dry matter) = 0.968+0.009 and r sub (starch) = 0.946 (plus minus 0.015) and parallel regression lines y sub (dry matter) = 199.16x - 194.77 and y sub (starch) = 200.79x - 201.94 was obtained. The mean value of non-starchy dry matter (the so-called Maercker's constant) amounted to 5.40 (plus minus 58%). causes of the differences of the values quoted in tables by particular authors showing the correlation between specifig gravity and dry matter and starch content are discussed
