Water and nitrogen regulation plays a crucial role in influencing crop yield and quality by affecting factors such as root growth, soil physical properties, nutrient availability, enzyme activity, and the health of soil microorganisms. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the biological impacts of water and nitrogen regulation in potato cultivation. It emphasizes the critical role these factors play in enhancing potato yield and improving soil health. The review also highlights the importance of tailoring water and nitrogen management strategies to specific regional conditions and proposes measures such as water-saving irrigation techniques and precise fertilization methods. Future research should delve deeper into the mechanisms underlying water and nitrogen regulation, aiming to develop environmentally friendly management models that contribute to the sustainable growth of the potato industry.
