Question: what is the best temperature for growing potatoes?
Answer: Crop characteristics As a result, potatoes are often unable to exploit nutrients and soil moisture at depth within a soil profile. While root growth occurs when soil temperatures are between 10 to 35˚C (50 to 95˚F), best, most active root development is at soil temperatures of between 15 and 20˚C (59 and 68˚F).
