Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Irrigation frequency significantly affected agronomic traits, water consumption, growth, and tuber quality.
- Intervention effect Treatments did not affect root development among soil layers.
- Intervention effect Irrigation every one or four days promoted greater potato growth.
- Intervention effect Seven-day irrigation enhanced potato tuber specific gravity and soluble solids.
- Intervention effect Less frequent irrigation reduced irrigation depth without affecting yield or average tuber mass.
- Intervention effect Less frequent irrigation improved water productivity.
- Intervention effect Ten-day irrigation raised water productivity by up to 32% versus daily irrigation.
- Recommendation The authors recommend reducing irrigation frequency to improve potato water use efficiency.
