How much water is required by the potato plants?

Relatively higher amount of soil moisture is required for potato plants. It is considered that a 120-150 days potato crop needs 500 to 700 mm, i.e., 20 to 27.5 inches of water. Sufficient water should be supplied to the plants during the growing period, otherwise it would cause the plants to produce low yield. In the region with low water availability, it is recommended to direct the water for maximum production rather than supplying water to a larger area. Sprinkler irrigation system is used in the potato farm because these plants have shallow roots and providing water frequently produce high yield.
