Abstract

Potato is considered one of the essential vegetable bounties in the boffin due to its high fed value among those crops, including Iraq, as there are some countries in the world where potatoes are the main food for those peoples, so there are continuous and important studies to find out the extent to which potato plants need irrigation water and the critical periods for plant growth With the best amount of irrigation water, as the water mainly affects the yield of the plant within the unit area through its influence on the characteristics of vegetative growth represented by the number of leaves, the leafy area of the plant and the number of branches of the plant, which is reflected in the yield of the plant as the water represents 90% of the weight of the plant, through which Nutrients are transported to different parts of the plant and this is what all studies have reported.
