Effect of integrated nutrients management on growth and yield of potato cv. Kufri Kyati

Abstract

An experiment was conducted at Horticulture Research Farm, College of Horticulture, AAU, Anand during the three consecutive years 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 on Potato cv. Kufri Khyati. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications and ten treatments viz., T1: 100% RDF (220:110:220), T2: 20 t FYM + 100% RDF (220:110:220), T3: 75% RDF + 25% RDN through FYM, T4: 75% RDF + 25% RDN through VC, T5: 50% RDF + 50% RDN through FYM, T6: 50% RDF + 50% RDN through VC, T7: 50% RDF + 50% RDN through FYM + 1 L Bio NPK consortium/ha, T8: 50% RDF + 50% RDN through VC + 1 L Bio NPK consortium/ha, T9: 25% RDF + 50% RDN through FYM + 1 L Bio NPK consortium/ha + KMB 1 L/ha, T10: 25% RDF + 50% RDN through VC + 1 L Bio NPK consortium + KMB 1 L/ha. The observations were recorded on different growth and yield attributes. The treatment T2 [20 t FYM + 100% RDF (220:110:220)] recorded significantly, maximum plant height at 45 DAS (51.85 cm) and 60 DAS (64.10 cm), tuber weight per plant (487.13 g) and tuber yield (434.8 q/ha) in pooled analysis. Whereas, haulm yield (kg/ha) were found non-significant.
