Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth and Yield of Potato, Solanum tuberosum L., Crop

Abstract

An experiments was conducted during winter season of 2019-20 and are presented in this chapter. The observations were recorded on growth, growth analysis, yield and yield attributes of different treatments and has been subjected to statistical analysis and presented in tables and graphical presentation as well, wherever necessary. The treatments effects have been described in the light of statistical inter pretations. The data pertaining to emergence percent of potato was recorded at 30days after planting (DAP) is given revealed the emergence(%) was not affected due to Integrated Nutrient Management-INM practice, the data further indicated that maximum emergence percent (94.40 %) was recorded underT6- 67% RDF through inorganic sources + 33% Recomended Dose of Fertilizer (RDF) through organic sources i.e., FYM + biofertilizer (Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria/PSB),  which was closely followed by T3 Poultry manure @ 5 t/ha + biofertilizer (PSB) (93.90) and minimum (91.30 %) and T2 - Farm Yard Manure (FYM) @ 30 t/ha) + biofertilizer (PSB).
