Nitrogen Management Can Increase Potato Yields and Food Security for Climate Change Adaptation in the Andean Region

The Andean region of Ecuador is being impacted by climate change, and improved best management practices for agriculture are needed to increase yields food security. We conducted a study comparing different nitrogen (N) rates determine the optimum N application rate potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) systems in this region. examined five N: 0, 100, 200, 300, 400 kg ha− 1. results suggest that an 300 1 increased productivity net income 87% 146%, respectively, compared no N. transferred these farmers, all farms their economic returns. average returns farmers 50% 64%, respectively. Additional use efficiency (NUE) studies continue increasing
