Abstract The global rise in human population has led to the intensification of agricultural activities to meet the ever-rising food demand. The potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) is a crop with the potential to tackle food security issues in developing countries due to its short growth cycle and high nutrient value. However, its cultivation is heavily dependent on artificial fertilizers for yield maximization which culminates in global warming and other environmental problems. There is need,...
