| Abstract | ||
| This comprehensive research work focuses on the critical significance of potato cultivation and emphasizes the imperative to enhance its productivity using effective fertilization programs. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in enhancing the productivity of potatoes, to address the challenges posed by an escalating population and the cultivation of degraded soils. Researchers and policymakers are increasingly turning their attention to organic fertilization as a key approach to optimize potato tuber development. However, the lack of consensus among experts in the plant nutrition field regarding the best organic sources to use has sparked the need for comprehensive research and analysis. This review aims to address the knowledge gap by critically examining and synthesizing existing literature related to the impact of various organic sources on potato growth and tuber quality. Additionally, potassium (K) fertilization plays a crucial role in determining potato yield, and there is a lack of agreement on the most effective K sources to use. Therefore, this review will also explore the latest research on the influence of different K sources under fertigation systems on potato performance and productivity. Generally, this review article aims to identify significant hurdles and potential opportunities within the field, ultimately directing the course of future research directions and practical implementations. This review article h paves the way for enhanced crop productivity and improved food security while adhering to environmental sustainability principles. | ||
