Natural climate conditions suitable for potato cultivation

Potato growing conditions

Potatoes are usually planted in cooler areas. They prefer low temperature environments and are more drought-resistant, so they do not have very high requirements for water environment and their growth cycle is relatively short. However, their yield is relatively high. They need sufficient sunlight during growth to facilitate their growth.
