Abstract: To examine the potential effect of water management on potato yields, the crop model POMOD (POtato MODel) was used. The effects of irrigation, drainage and two-way water management (irrigation+drainage) were simulated with and without natural outflow (percolation to deeper soil layers and runoff). Calculations were performed for two Estonian mainland locations (subcontinental Tallinn for the period 1920–2011, continental Tartu, 1901–2011) and one insular, maritime region (Kuressaare, 1923–2011) as well as for an early and a late potato variety, ‘Maret’ and ‘Anti’, accordingly.
