Effect of irrigation methods and planting dates on percent of emergence in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)

Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Effect of irrigation methods and planting dates on percent of emergence of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)” was studied at Research farm of Department of Vegetable Science, CCS HAU, Hisar during the year 2017-18 and 2018-19. Among different irrigation methods, micro-sprinkler irrigation method (I2) significantly enhance percent of emergence of potato (9.89 to 10.6% harvested at 75 DAP and 12.10 to 6.40% harvested at 90 DAP) over furrow irrigation method, whereas, among different dates of planting, 15th October (D4) gave significantly higher percent of emergence of potato (91.25 and 94.50% harvested at 75 DAP and 94.50 and 93.75% harvested at 90 DAP) over rest of the other planting dates during 2017-18 and 2018-19, respectively. While comparing the interaction between irrigation method and date of planting, high percent of emergence of potato was observed in treatment D4I2.
