Zero-Tillage Potato Farming with Paddy Straw Mulching

overview

The zero-tillage potato cultivation technology integrates paddy straw mulching and nutrient management to improve productivity and soil health in saline and water-scarce regions. It advances planting time, enhances yield by over 35%, conserves irrigation water, reduces soil salinity, and lowers cultivation costs, promoting sustainable intensification of rice-based systems.
