Irrigation Management in Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Production: A Review

Limited water resources coupled with the increase of human population calls for more efficient use in irrigated agriculture. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one most widely grown crops worldwide and very sensitive to stress due its shallow rooting system. With dilemma potato sensitivity drought limited available restricting crop production, researchers growers have been investigating different approaches optimizing yield improving efficiency under irrigation methods. While response affected by other management practices such as fertilizer management, present review focused on environments methods impact quality diseases. Variable results obtained from research studies indicate non-transferability location another cultivars are not same breeders still making effort develop new high-yielding varieties production or a specific trait satisfy consumers exigence. This valuable source information scientists it only regimes productivity reviews but also presents regime diseases potatoes, tuber gravity, metabolite content tubers processed products.
