Proper and timely irrigation is essential for crop growth and yield formation. It enhances the soil's ecological environment, conserves resource, ensures consistent and high crop yields, and improves overall quality and efficiency. This paper reviews the impacts of water scarcity under drip irrigation on soil thermal and moisture conditions, soil enzyme activity, microbial populations, nutrient content, yield, and water use efficiency in potatoes. Additionally, it discusses existing challenges and potential future research directions, aiming to provide guidance for precise irrigation strategies and the cultivation of high-yield, high-quality potatoes.
