Effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and tuber yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum) cv. Kufri Ashoka.

A field experiment was conducted in order to explore the possibility of improving, growth and tuber yield of potato by the use of integrated nutrient management. Results obtained after the successful conduct of the experiment and statistical analysis of data revealed that the height of plant, number of compound leaves/hill, number of haulms/hill, yield attributes and yield. Further number of A, B, C and D grade tubers/plot, percent of A, B, Cand D grade tubers/plot, yield of A, B, C and D grade tubers/plot (kg), total number of tubers/plot, total weight of tubers per plot (kg) and tuber yield (t/ha) showed the beneficial response by the use of integrated levels of NPK, FYM, Vermicompost and Neem Cake, however, on the basis of pooled data it was also further observed that the application of 150:100:120 kg NPK, 20t FYM, 5 ton Vermicompost and 3 ton Neem Cake/ha brought paramount of improvement in growth and tuber yield of potato.
