Abstract

An experimental field trial was conducted at Wadi El Natrun Beheira Province, Egypt (latitude of 30.42 ˚ N and longitude of 30˚.33E) during two successive growing seasons of 2019 and 2020. The study aimed to evaluate the effects of irrigation systems and different rates of mineral and bio-fertilizers on the yield and water use efficiency of potatoes. The field trial was arranged in a split-plot design with two irrigation systems (drip; I1) and micro-sprinkler (I2), three rates of mineral fertilizer (100, 75, and 50% of MF) alone or plus biofertilizer (BF) where BF consisted of (Azoasperilum +Bacillus megaterium) and two potato cultivars (Bellini C1 and Arizona C2). The results showed significant differences for growth and yield characteristics of the interaction between I1 ,100% MF or (100 MF+ BF) and C1 or C2 cultivars) for leaf area - productivity – and grading (Y4), as well as the content of leaves from nitrogen and phosphorous during the two growing seasons. There were significant differences for the interaction I2 + C1 + 50% MF in the grading trait (Y3) only. The interaction (I1 or I2 + C1 or C2 + 75% MF) was equal in achieving the highest significant results for the grading (Y5). It is recommended that the I1 + C1 or C2 + 100% MF+BF treatment is the optimum one for potato grown under field conditions, as the drip irrigation system provided the amount of water and a significant increase in most growth characteristics of potatoes compared to micro-sprinkler irrigation.
