- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation achieved a higher potato yield than furrow irrigation.
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation reduced potato production costs compared with furrow irrigation.
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation increased gross income per hectare compared with furrow irrigation.
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation improved the benefit-to-cost ratio of potato production.
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation had lower input energy than furrow irrigation in potato production.
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation had higher positive output energy than furrow irrigation in potato production.
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation gave a positive net energy balance, unlike furrow irrigation.
- Intervention effect The MFCA-adjusted Energy Ratio favored sprinkler irrigation (1.11 vs. 0.37).
- Intervention effect Energy productivity favored sprinkler irrigation (0.39 vs. 0.21 kg MJ −1).
