Changes in root temperature caused by the application of plastic covers were studied in relation to the uptake and content of molybdenum (Mo) in the different organs of potato (Solanum tuberosum L. var. Spunta) plants (roots, tubers, stems, and leaves) and in relation to nitrogen (N) metabolism. For the semi‐forcing technique of mulching, four different covers were used: T 1 (transparent polyethylene), T 2 (white polyethylene), T 3 (coextruded black and white polyethylene), and T 4 (black polythylene). The control treatment had no mulch. The results revealed a positive and significant effect of plastic covers on root temperatures: T 0 = 16°C, T 1 = 20°C, T 2 = 24°C, T 3 = 27°C, T 4 = 30°C. These thermal differences significantly influenced the Mo concentration, particularly in the T 2 and T 3 treatments in the leaves, roots, and tubers. The same temperatures significantly altered N metabolism in both the aerial and underground parts of the plants, and a strong interrelationship was fou...
