Sustainable Potato Growth under Straw Mulching Practices

Extreme heat, droughts, pests, diseases, and short bursts of heavy rain make potato production unsustainable. This unfavorable environment negatively affects productivity yield levels. Within the next few years, conditions will likely deteriorate even more. In cultivation, straw mulching has been shown to increase yields by promoting growth beneficial bacteria in soil. Mulching improves soil humidity, decreases transpiration, cools dry hot regions. There is a global decline per hectare due poor nutrient management, moderately humid high disease pressure caused Phytophthora infestans Alternaria species. Farmers must take cultivation measures achieve economic efficiency adequate yields. A range practices contributes better productivity, such as use appropriate fungicides, planting high-yielding varieties, increasing row spacing. These complicate affect profits. Furthermore, inorganic nitrogen regularly causes acidification, eroding fertility. As result land preparation, residues from rice maize are collected field destroyed or burned, which depletes nutrients pollutes air. Returning these soil, however, can improve its quality. Integrating into enhance agricultural sustainability, yield. review focus on using cultivating potatoes. Straw promotes sustainable growth, quality while minimizing reliance chemical inputs. Such mitigate need for synthetic fertilizers agriculture, ensure long-term health, yields, promote agriculture.
