DOI: CULTIVATING SUCCESS: UNRAVELING THE BENEFITS OF SHADING NET AND WATERING INTERVAL OPTIMIZATION ON PLANT GROWTH AND YIELD IN 'ATLANTIC' POTATOES
Syariful Hamdani , Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Padjadjaran, Jatinangor, West Java, IndonesiaAbstract
This study explores the cultivation strategies aimed at maximizing the growth and yield of 'Atlantic' potatoes through the optimization of shading net usage and watering intervals. Through controlled experiments, the research unravels the intricate benefits of these interventions on plant development and tuber production. The findings showcase a significant enhancement in both plant growth and overall yield, providing valuable insights for potato cultivation practices. This research contributes to the sustainable advancement of potato farming, offering practical approaches for optimizing 'Atlantic' potato yields.
