Abstract: Super absorbent polymers(SAP) is a kind of high- hygroscopicity resin, which can effectively enhance the moisture of soil matrix, strengthen microorganism activity and enzyme activity in soil, reduce surface runoff, increase the yield and water use efficiency (WUE) of potato, and it is now widely used in potato planting. The paper reviewed the research on the application of SAP in potato planting, including the effect of SAP on soil environment and the growth process of potato, and the SAP application methods. On this basis, the authors made an outlook on the development prospect of SAP application in potato planting in the future.
