This study examines the importance of optimizing fertilization strategies to improve the yield and quality of potato crops. By analyzing the roles of major nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, along with trace elements like zinc and magnesium in potato growth, the research underscores the impact of precision fertilization techniques on enhancing nutrient use efficiency. The study proposes advanced fertilization methods, including soil testing, controlled-release fertilizers, foliar application, and fertigation, to reduce nutrient loss and lessen environmental impact. Furthermore, the research points out that a combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizers can balance nutrient supply, mitigate environmental risks, and improve soil health. This study provides a theoretical foundation for potato cultivation, demonstrating the potential of optimized fertilization strategies in increasing yield and supporting sustainable agricultural development.
