Impact of different irrigation levels and varieties on growth and yield parameters of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) under Chhattisgarh condition

Abstract

The field experiment was conducted under All India coordinated Research project on potato at Department of Vegetable Science, IGKV, Raipur during 2016-17. Potato crop is highly sensitive to water availability to the crop. Now a day, water becomes a limiting source for crop production. Keeping these all the fact the experiment was designed to evaluate crop water stress tolerant variety (K. Pukhraj and WS/05-146) along with four different irrigation scheduling. However, among the irrigation scheduling higher total tuber yield 25.10 t/ha was recorded with the variety WS/05-146 with irrigation applied at 25 mm CPE.
