Trickle and sprinkler irrigation of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in the Middle Anatolian Region in Turkey

Effect of Drip Fertigation on Potato Productivity with Basal Application of Loss Control Fertilizer in Sandy Soil

“…In this research, 35–50% of RFD was applied to obtain a similar yield in comparison with the local potato company with conventional fertilizer furrow‐applied under sprinkler fertigation, and improve the utilization efficiency of water and nutrients. It might be due to the improvement of nutrient availability for potato in the root zone using LCF as basal fertilizer (Liu et al ., ) and the better uptake of water and nutrients with potato drip fertigation (Ünlü et al ., ).…”

Can ridge-furrow plastic mulching replace irrigation in dryland wheat and maize cropping systems?

“…By averaging the response, we avoided over-representation of a study, reduced publication bias, increased the reliability of our results, and ensured the independence of each data entry (Lu et al, 2016b). We did not differentiate among irrigation methods and only recorded the amount of water applied, since there have been many studies showing that the type of irrigation was not significant in comparison to the amount of water in determining yield, including in the drylands (Erdem et al, 2006;Onder et al, 2005;Sammis, 1980;Shalhevet et al, 1983;Ünlü et al, 2006). We also recorded the amount of rainfall received during the growing season to understand the extent of irrigation relative to the rainfall.…”

Groundwater contribution to irrigated potato production in the Canadian Prairies.

“…Major factors affecting potato yield include climatic conditions, crop rotation, tillage management, production practices, including seed piece spacing (Rex 1991), irrigation management (Ahmadi et al 2010Unlu et al 2006;Ojala et al 1990), and nutrient management (Ierna et al 2011;Alva et al 2012;Stark et al 1993). Of all these factors, irrigation management is one of the most important factors that decide the total tuber yield.…”
