Rules For Potato Irrigation and Soil Moisture Tests
Guidelines from the Scotts Bluff Experiment Station on irrigation timing and soil moisture for potatoes. Irrigate when readily available moisture reaches 50 percent, using moisture tests by hand feel in the root zone. Water use peaks midseason, varying by soil type, with 1–2 inches per irrigation on sandy soils and 2–4 inches on silty or clay soils, tuber development 45–70 days after emergence, and moisture use tapering off in early September.
