نبذة مختصرة : Precision agricultural technologies (PATs) have revolutionized the way farmers grow crops, including potatoes. This review paper presented an overview of the best management practices (BMPs) such as soil preparation, proper irrigation, crop fertilization, pest and disease management, and harvest and storage of potato crop using PATs. The paper evaluated the economic and environmental aspects of the BMPs in five major research engines, such as Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Sciences, and IEEEXplore. The paper discussed the challenges faced by potato farmers in terms of increasing yields, improving quality and reducing production costs. The use of PATs, such as yield monitoring systems, precision planting, variable rate application of inputs, and remote sensing among others, is discussed as a solution to these challenges. The paper summarized the current state of the art in these technologies and provided a comprehensive review of the existing literature. The review highlighted the benefits of using PATs in potato crop management, including increased yields, improved efficiency, and reduced environmental impact. The review paper provided recommendations for gaps and limitations in BMPs using PATs. The paper concluded by providing suggestions for future research in this area, including the need for more interdisciplinary studies and the development of new PATs.
