ADVICE ON POTATO
IRRIGATION GIVEN
lGnrdon G. Brownl

There is considerable difference
OF opinion among potato growers as
regards the time when irrigation
should start and stop for this crop
The number and character of irrAr
cations is also another point on
which all do not agree. Obviously,
the answer to many Of these ques-
tions will depend upon the use for
which the tubers are being grown !;
whether for seed or for the table
Again, the variety and character Of
soil on which grown is an important
factor. Obviously, a lighter soil will
require earlier and perhaps later
irrigations than will a heavier one.
Considerable difference would also
be found in the number of applica-
tions on these two distinct types of
soil.
Owing to the fact that Idaho is a
state where a great many tests have
been conducted by their experiment
station bearing upon the subject of
irrigation, the writer wishes to point
out the results obtained there. The
following is an outline of the ex-
pertinent conducted:
Plat First irrigation when the
plants are four or five inches high
From then as often as is necessary
to keep sufficient soil moisture to
furnish good growing condition until
the tubers are the siz of an egg
Then no more irrigation.

are four or five inches high and as

BILE. 612.
One of the first things that will
be noted in a study of the above
table is that when the irrigation of
a crop of potatoes has been started,
1T should be continued throughout
the rest Of the season Plat three,
which received its first irrigation at
the formation of tubers, produced a
greater yield and a higher percent
age of marketable tubers with less
water than did either Plats 2 or 4.
1t is believed that the difference in
yield and uniformity between Plats
and is due far more to the time
of application than to the amount
applied. This work so far indicates
that potatoes should be Irrigated
when the tubers begin ii form ana
from then on should be given fire.
quent light applications until time
to allow them to dry and ripen.
Potatoes gshould never be flooded.
Neither should they be irrigated with
burrows that are so shallow that the
water is allowed to come in direct
contact with the tubers. If the soil
around the tubers is once saturated
with water it will become hard and
compact, checking uniform growth.
Besides securing an irregular pota-
to there is also greater danger from
disease.
