Use of urea in seed treatment to study the effect on tuberization and total yield of potato

Abstract

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Urea as seed treatment, on the total yield of potato crop variety Kufri Jyoti. The seed potato of variety Kufri Jyoti were treated with various concentrations of Urea (1, 5, 10 and 15 % concentration, indicated as T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively) followed by control (T5 - without urea seed treatment). The observation of the present study indicates that urea 5% (T2) found most suitable concentration to treat the seed to increase the total yield of potato crop variety Kufri Jyoti in comparison to all other concentrations i.e. 1,10, 15% (T1, T3, T4) and in comparison to control (T5) also.
