Advancements in water-efficient potato farming: From irrigation techniques to future innovations and more

Media: Potato News Today

Water scarcity poses a significant challenge to agriculture globally, with potato farming particularly affected due to its high water requirements—typically 500–700 mm over a growing season, varying by climate, soil, and cultivar. As freshwater resources dwindle under the pressures of climate change, population growth, and industrial demand, optimizing water use in potato production is essential for sustainability and food security.
