Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Over-irrigation at 125% of ET during late tuber bulking gave no significant increase in total yield, marketable yield or tuber quality compared with standard practice.
- Intervention effect Over-irrigation at 125% of ET reduced irrigation efficiency and water-use efficiency compared with standard practice.
- Intervention effect Over-irrigation at 125% of ET increased nitrate leaching potential in both years.
- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation at 75% or 50% of ET could increase irrigation efficiency and water-use efficiency in one of the two years.
- Intervention effect Deficit irrigation at 75% or 50% of ET reduced drainage.
- Intervention effect Irrigation rate had no significant effect on hollow heart incidence, tuber specific gravity at harvest or fry quality during 8 months of storage.
- Recommendation The authors suggest that over-irrigation is not beneficial for potato production in Central Wisconsin.
- Recommendation Deficit irrigation during late tuber bulking and maturation could give more sustainable water use without penalising yield, quality or storability of chipping potatoes.
