A study conducted by the Leibniz Center for Agricultural Landscape Research and the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus has found that global warming could increase spring potato yields by up to 60% if planting times are adjusted to take advantage of the CO2 fertilization effect. The research also recommends breeding heat-tolerant potato varieties for more severe climate change conditions and increasing tolerance to high temperatures for summer potatoes. The authors believe that these findings are crucial for developing sustainable food security strategies and agricultural practices.

The study, conducted by scientists from the Leibniz Center for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) and the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus, investigates the effects of global warming on the potato crop and presents adaptation strategies. "Our results show that the CO2 fertilization effect can offset the negative effects of rising temperatures and increase yields of spring potatoes by up to 60% if planting times are adjusted," explains Dr. Yean-Uk Kim, main author of the study and scientist at ZALF. The CO2 fertilization effect describes the phenomenon that higher CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere can improve the photosynthetic performance of plants, leading to faster growth and higher yields. Climate-resilient potato varieties as a solution for the future Research shows that earlier planting is recommended for spring potatoes under mild climate change conditions. Under more severe climate change conditions, the researchers suggest breeding heat-tolerant ...
