Аннотация

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), commonly known as batata, is an important root crop cultivated worldwide for its nutritional, economic, and agricultural value. In addition to serving as a major food source, sweet potato cultivation significantly influences soil fertility. Its extensive root system, high biomass production, and compatibility with crop rotation systems contribute to improvements in soil structure, organic matter content, microbial activity, and erosion control. However, improper cultivation practices, such as continuous monocropping and inadequate nutrient replacement, may result in nutrient depletion and soil degradation. Therefore, understanding the effects of sweet potatoes on soil fertility is essential for sustainable agricultural development. This article examines both the positive and negative impacts of sweet potato cultivation on soil health and highlights management practices that can maximize its benefits while minimizing adverse effects.
