The Impact Of Using Natural Fertilizers On The Productivity And Sustainability Of Potato Crops In The Region Of Oued Souf In Algeria – Econometric Study For The Period 2002-2018

Abstract

The region of El-Oued is pioneering the field of potato crop production, which in recent years has achieved a great abundance due to two main factors: the abundance of irrigation water, the ease of exploiting surface water, and the availability of government support for acquiring production materials such as fertilizers, the latter had a clear impact on profitability and production quality. From this point of view, this study’s aim is to measure the degree of use of all types of organic fertilizers without affecting the productivity of potato crop on the one hand, and the sustainability of using agricultural soil and irrigation water, as well as the natural and health aspects of the crop itself.
