Abstract: |
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important food crop in the north of China, and it is very sensitive to water stress. Combination of plastic film, superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and drip irrigation system was made to study growth and w
ater use of potato under different soil matric potential (SMP). The results presented that the treatments without mulching and SAP under different SMP at 20 cm soil depth had much higher rate of big middle size tuber, commercial tuber and
IWUE; there were little significance on growth, yield and commercial attribute between the treatments with mulching film under different SMP, but lower SMP may weaken the capability of water saving of SAP. This research presents planting p
otato with plastic film mulching should move up a date, and planting potato with SAP and drip irrigation is a good way to saving water and increasing yield. |
