Application of straw mulch increases potato yield
American researchers reported that adding straw mulch to the soil around emerging potatoes increases the size of the individual tubers and the yield of the crop for two different cultivars. They further added that the straw mulch managed broadleaf weeds better than mechanical means of removing the weeds. The study was supported by the University […]

Investigating the optimum soil and water characteristics to achieve the highest yield potential of “Spunta” potatoes
Saudi researchers sought to determine the texture and characteristics of soil that can improve the productivity of potato crops. They compiled a soil and water quality index (SWQI) that established the optimal soil and water characteristics for maximizing crop yield and quality. The research project was supported by the King Saud University. Its results came […]
