abstract = "The impact of climate change on potato production in Montenegro is becoming more
pronounced year by year. Since potatoes in Montenegro are predominantly grown in conditions
of dry farming, the aim of this study was to examine the influence of different irrigation regimes
on the main parameters of potato productivity in the conditions of temperate continental climate.
The study of five new Dutch potato varieties (three medium early - Spektra, Adato and Vogue
and two medium late varieties - Prince and Babylon) was conducted during 2019 and 2020. Four
variants of irrigation were studied: one, two and three sprinkler irrigations during vegetation
season, and the variant without irrigation. The potato crop was irrigated with irrigation rate of 50
mm of water per m2, and the watering started in the phenological phase of potato flowering.On a
two-year average, the highest number of tubers was found in the varieties Adato – 11, while the
lowest one had the variety Babylon - 7.8. Babylon variety had the largest tubers on average
(104.7 g), while the smallest tubers were measured in Adato variety (71.9 g). All applied
irrigation variants had the effect on the potato yield in all studied potato varieties, resulting in
significantly higher yields compared to rainfed variants. The highest yields were measured in
Vouge variety on plots which were irrigated three times – 56.1 t ha-1 in 2019 and 53.7 t ha-1 in
2020, while the lowest yields were measured in rainfed variants in Spektra variety – 24 t ha-1 in
2019 and 25.5 t ha-1 in 2020.",
