“…Depending on the irrigation system, water consumption efficiency in potato varies from 5.4 to 12 kg m −3 16 , 24 . Drip irrigation is one of the most effective methods and ranged from 6.3 to 8.6 kg m −3 (Sharma 2007) 25 .…”

“…Milić et al (2010) 15 stated that the optimum soil humidity for potato is 70% of the field water capacity when cultivated on medium textured soil. Begum et al (2018) 16 stated that potato should be provided with adequate humidity during the formation of stolons and the initial development of tubers. Water management should be specificly adjusted to the potato varieties and avoid excessive moisture or water (lack of water) stress 1 , 4 , 17 .…”

This study aims to determine the effects of differences in variety and irrigations levels on potato yield (appropriate humidity, temperature, shading the plants from the sun if necessary) on potato yield in greenhouse conditions. Functions of potato production with respect to water use were developed for five dates of measurements of plant growth, in relation to the various vegetation phases. On the basis of potato vegetation phases, the potato water demand was determined. An experiment was conducted using the randomized sub-block method. The first order factor were the two varieties of potato that were grown under drip irrigation with three water regimes as a second factor experiment: level 1 (pF 2.7), level 2 (pF 2.5) and level 3 (pF 2.2). The variety had a significant effect on the weight of potato tubers. The irrigation level had only a significant effect on the total potato biomass. The potato harvest date had a significant effect on both of the examined treatments. The growth dynamics of the aboveground part and potato tubers were the highest in conditions of constant level 1. Regardless of the variety studied, on level 3 caused a reduction in potato biomass production.The highest water consumption was observed during the tuber potato growth period to flowering. The values were varied from 0.39 l/pot day level 1 (in both investigated cultivars) to 0.99 l/ pot/day (humidity level 3 for Julinka cultivar) in July. The most intensive increase in water consumption was observed at the level 3. The average W index of the average daily water dose calculated for Denar cultivar amounted 0.40 l day−1 in the first period (O1) to 0.79 l day−1 in the fifth period (O5) and for Julinka cultivar 0.49 l day−1 (O1) to 0.92 l day−1 (O5). Stress due to water shortage and/or excessive levels of water in the soil negatively influenced the yield of potato tuber. Potato varieties reacted differently to soil water content.

“…Tuber initiation to maturity growth period forms the critical water requirement period where water deficits negatively affect potato productivity (Ahmadi et al 2010;Salter and Goode 1967;Sasani et al 2006). Begum et al (2018) found that supplemental irrigation is very important for potato in the areas with a high drought frequency due to the high yield of potato in a short time and if shortage of readily available water in the soil is eliminated it is possible to achieve high and stable potato yield of 40-50 t/ha or more. Previous studies found an increase in tuber number/plant and marketable potato yield of irrigated potato compared to rain-fed production (Abu El-Fotoh et al 2019;Djaman et al 2021;Waqas et al 2021).…”

Background Low soil fertility and reduced seasonal rainfall contribute to low potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) yield in Kenya. Nitrogen (N) deficiency is the major problem facing by the smallholder farmers of Kenya due to lack of fallow. Hence an introduction of supplemental irrigation with an adequate application of this nutrient could increase potato yield. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of supplemental irrigation and N-fertilisation on potato tuber yield, water use efficiency (WUE) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). The experiment was conducted in Nakuru County, Kenya for two seasons. The experimental soils are classified as mollic Andosols. The treatments comprised two irrigation treatments of full supplemental irrigation (FI) and rainfed production (RF) and four N levels of four N levels of 0 (N0), 60 (N1), 90 (N2) and 130 kg N/ha (N3). Results The results showed that total tuber yield, marketable tuber yield and NUE were significantly (P < 0.001) affected by irrigation × N-fertilisation while WUE was only affected (P < 0.001) by N-fertilisation. The highest total tuber yield, 58.28 tonnes/hectare (t/ha), was recorded under FI combined with N3. Treatment FI significantly increased marketable tuber yield by approximately 125.58% in all N treatments compared to RF. The highest NUE of potato (236.44 kg/kg of N) was obtained under FI combined with N3 but not significantly different from the NUE of potato obtained under FI with N2. N-fertilisation N3 produced the highest WUE of 14.24 kg/m3. Significant correlation was obtained between tuber yield and number of tubers/plant (r = 0.75, P < 0.001), NUE (r = 0.95, P < 0.001) and WUE (r = 0.72, P < 0.001). Conclusion High potato yield and marketable tuber yield can be achieved in mollic Andosols when water deficits of the growing season are eliminated with supplemental irrigation and an application of 130 kg N/ha.

“…This showed that an increment of N in water stress conditions in Mollic Andosols could not lead to a high change in marketable tuber yield obtained from apical rooted cuttings of potato, probably due to an adverse effect of excessive mineral N application on potato yield. According to Begum et al (2018), suppressing water shortage in potato production can result in high potato productivity of 40-50 t.ha À1 or higher. The unexpected total potato yield and marketable yield responses to N level obtained in all irrigation treatments were also reported (Kirnak et al, 2005;Mellgren, 2008;El Mokh et al, 2015;Fandika et al, 2016;Bani-Hani et al, 2018).…”

Potato productivity (Solanum tuberosum L) is generally influenced by several factors, including water and nitrogen (N), and potato requirement for these factors varies depending on the soil type and potato variety. This research aimed to determine the performance of apical rooted cuttings of potato grown in Mollic Andosols under different nitrogen fertilization and irrigation regimes. The treatments comprised 4 irrigation regimes of 100%, 85%, 75% and 50% of the crop evapotranspiration (ETC), where ETC100% was irrigated based on water depletion in the root zone two days after full irrigation, and 4 nitrogen rates of 0 (N0), 60 (N1), 90 (N2) and 130 kg.ha À1 (N3) applied in splits at 10 (40%), 30 (40%) and 50 (20%) days after planting. The results revealed that the water demand for apical rooted cuttings of potato (ETa) was on average 201.4, 302.1, 342.4 and 402.8 mm under ETC50%, ETC75%, ETC85% and ETC100%, respectively. It was observed that plant height and number of branches significantly (P < 0.001) varied under different N rates with the highest plant height (92.67 cm) and number of branches per potato plant (17) achieved when applying N3. Potato grown under full irrigation (ETC100%) with N3 produced the highest total potato tuber yield (58.28 t.ha À1 ) and marketable tuber yield (54.21 t.ha À1 ). The number of tubers per plant statistically reduced as the N deficit increased, with the maximum tuber number, 23, achieved under N3. It was observed that a significant Pearson correlation (r ¼ 0.7***) existed between tuber number and total tuber yield. The maximum harvest index (HI), 57.12 %, was obtained under ETC50% with N3, while the highest tuber dry matter, 30 %, was observed under N3. To achieve a high tuber yield from apical rooted cuttings of potato in Mollic Andosols, this study recommends an irrigation regime of ETC100% and a nitrogen rate of 130 kg.ha À1 .
