Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the suitable amount of irrigation and fertigation for the growth and yield of spring potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.). To investigate the effect of soil moisture content on the growth and yield of potato, five irrigation treatments were performed based on soil moisture tension: –10 kPa, –20 kPa, –30 kPa, –40 kPa, and non-irrigation. The growth and yield among the irrigation treatments was the best in the –10 kPa treatment, where the yield increased by 47% compared to the non-irrigation treatment. To determine the standard of additional fertilizer for fertigation cultivation of spring potatoes, seven treatments were performed, including a control (basic fertilization without additional fertilizer), compound fertilizer (NPK) based on 0.5 times the standard amount of fertilizer (NPK 0.5; N-P2O5-K2O: 2.5-2.2-3.25 kg/10a), NPK 0.8 (N-P2O5-K2O: 4-3.5-5 kg/10a), and NPK 1.2 (N-P2O5-K2O: 6-5.3-7.8 kg/10a), and potassium fertilizer of 2 kg (K 2), 5 kg (K 5), and 7 kg (K 7). The growth and yield among the fertilization treatments was highest in the K 5 treatment, where the yield increased by approximately 27% compared to the control. Therefore, this study suggests that irrigation with –10 kPa or fertigation with K 5 during the tuber initiation and tuber filling stage could increase the yield of spring potatoes.
