The cultural and management practices for Irish Potato and Sweet Potato were monitored, along with various plant growth parameters. Data was collected on row width, plant spacing, irrigation, root mass, plant population, vegetative dry matter, canopy height, yeild, above ground biomass, root depth, canopy cover, leaf area index, and stem diameter. Climatic parameters such as rainfall, average daily temperatures, and growing degree days. The data was imputed into the erosion prediction model WEPP (Water Erosion Prediction Project) and the annual soil loss was compared between the crops. Results suggest that Irish Potato is better crop for conserving soil.
