Increasing productivity and improving quality are the most important goals of potato producers.

The potato crop is one of the most sensitive crops to moisture. Appropriate moisture levels must be maintained for the different physiological stages, as irrigation has a scientific reference that must be followed in order to reach the highest productivity and the best quality, As

1. Low soil moisture below the required levels leads to water stress and the closure of stomata, thus slowing down the process of photosynthesis, which reduces the production of sugars needed for tuber growth and thus lower yield and quality.

2. Fluctuation of moisture levels reduces the average number of tubers per stem, which increases the percentage of deformed tubers.

3. Excessive irrigation leads to soft rot, an increase in fungal and bacterial diseases, and lentils open, which greatly reduces productivity and quality.

In order to avoid these repercussions, an irrigation program suitable for the nature of the soil and the cultivated crop must be followed. Therefore, the Tamkeen team chose to follow advanced methods and rely on the Irriwatch program that specializes in modern irrigation operations based on satellites to closely monitor the plant with the aim of maximizing the benefit from the irrigation process to improve and accelerate crop growth rates appropriate to the nature of the soil and the cultivated crop. Adding organic matter to the soil works on Increasing the water balance in the soil, which reduces water stress by improving the ability to retain water.
