Favourable Climate

Climate
- Potato is preferred in regions where temperature during growing season is cool.
Temperature
- The vegetative growth is best at 24°C while tuber growth at 20°C.
- A temperature ranging from 20-25°C is ideal for growth.
Crop Water Requirement
- Germination, underground stem formation and tuber development are the most critical stages when water must be available.
- Water requirement- Equivalent to 500-700 mm of rainfall.
Favourable Soil

Type
- The potato can be grown almost on any type of soil except saline and alkaline soils.
