Keywords:Potato plants, cultivation, manned space activities

Potato plants are very popular cultivated crops worldwide. Many studies related to the cultivation of potato plants under extraterrestrial environments exist, and here, we focus on the problems infor the cultivation of potato plants for manned space activities. In this study, we will propose the advanced use of potato plants in sever environments such as on Mars.
