Interaction of different irrigation strategies and soil textures on the nitrogen uptake of field grown potatoes

Nitrogen (N) uptake (kg ha-1) of field-grown potatoes was measured in 4.32 m2 lysimeters that were filled with coarse sand, loamy sand, and sandy loam and subjected to full (FI), deficit (DI), and partial root-zone drying (PRD) irrigation strategies. PRD and DI as water-saving irrigation treatments received 65% of FI after tuber bulking and lasted for six weeks until final harvest. Results show...

Nitrogen Requirements of Potatoes

Nitrogen fertilizer applications, for maximum fertilizer efficiencies and crop yields, should be based on the N required by the crop during its various growth stages. The objectives of this paper were to identify the N requirements of the potato plant (Solarium tuberosurn L.) during growth and to evaluate selected soil and plant tissue tests as indicators of the plant's N status. Growth analysi...
