Supporting evidence — 5 representative gaps

• Effects of different planting patterns on potato rhizosphere soil microbial composition and yield (2026) · BMC Microbiology · cited 2× · doi

  While numerous studies have explored effective strategies for mitigating these obstacles, the impact of different cropping systems on potato yield and rhizosphere microbial communities remain insufficiently understood.

• Instabilities in Australian farming systems: a note on potato‐growers, 1975–76 (1981) · Australian Geographical Studies · cited 2× · doi

  The causes of industry instability in the Australian potato industry remain unclear. Prior studies have not fully examined the other agricultural activities of potato growers and their impact on industry stability.

• Role of Intercropping, Herbicides and Fungicides in Compensating for the Lack of Crop Rotation in Long-Term Continuous Cropping of Two Potato Cultivars (2026) · Agriculture · cited 1× · doi

  The paper identifies the lack of effective methods to mitigate the yield decline associated with continuous potato cropping as a significant research gap. It also highlights the need to investigate the impact of intercropping on continuous potato cropping. The study aims to fill this gap by exploring the effects of intercropping, herbicides, and fungicides on potato yield.

• Role of Intercropping, Herbicides and Fungicides in Compensating for the Lack of Crop Rotation in Long-Term Continuous Cropping of Two Potato Cultivars (2026) · Agriculture · cited 1× · doi

  The study identifies soil sickness and the accumulation of harmful compounds as major challenges in continuous potato cropping. It also highlights the need to balance soil microorganisms and nutrient concentrations. The paper mentions the increased susceptibility to diseases and pests as a significant challenge in continuous potato cropping.
