In terms of worldwide consumption, potatoes are the most significant food crop and are regarded as a key crop for food security. Potatoes require a significant amount of plant nutrients, especially phosphorus (P), due to inefficient soil P availability, making phosphorus management essential in potato production. A field experiment was conducted at Nubaria district (NRC Experimental and Production Station), El-Behera Governorate, Egypt, to evaluate the effects of different phosphorus rates (30, 40, and 50 kg/fed) and irrigation system (drip and sprinkler) under varying water regimes (85% and 70% of ETo) on potato nutrient content,
growth, yield, and yield characteristics. The results indicated that drip irrigation had a significant positive effect on potato growth and yield, particularly under the 85% water regime. Increasing phosphorus levels improved yield and yield components, with the greatest improvements observed at 50 kg/fed. Future Perspective: Future research should focus on long-term studies exploring sustainable phosphorus management practices and the use of precision irrigation technologies. Additionally, exploring the interaction between phosphorus rates and other essential nutrients, as well as the role of advanced water-saving irrigation techniques, could further enhance potato yield and quality, contributing to more efficient agricultural practices and improved food security.
