Yield potential estimation of potato in Córdoba, Argentina by radiation use efficiency and water productivity by de la Casa, A., Ovando, G., Bressanini, L., Martínez, J.

“…This article uses different models to estimate the RP for late potato growing season in Córdoba, Argentina, comparing two methods based on: a) radiation use efficiency (RPe) and b) efficiency or productivity of water (w), which was normalized according to vapor pressure deficit (RPwD) and the reference crop evapotranspiration (RPwETo). The RPe for four planting dates from 2007 to 2012 was highly variable (CV = 17.7%), with a mean value of 9.7 Mg ha-1 of dry weight (PS), showing a gradual trend to decrease with the delay of planting, with a rate between 1 and 1.4% of RP per day of delay. …”
