Abstract

An experiment was carried out at Research Farm of Soil Science and Agricltural Chemistry, (SHUATS) during winter season of 2017- 2018 to know the “Effect of different levels of N P K and FYM on the Physico-chemical properties of Soil, Growth and Yield of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cv. Kufri Badshah”. 3×3 Factorial Randomised Block Design (RBD) was arranged with three replication for each treatment. The fertilizer applied for the crop was N P K and FYM @ 120 kg ha-1, 80 kg ha-1, 100 kg ha-1 and 15 t ha-1 respectively. Based on the research work, it is concluded that application of N P K followed by FYM of treatment T8 (100% NPK+ 50% t ha-1 FYM) was found more beneficial and significantly improved soil, growth and yield of Potato (250.75 Q ha-1). This treatment also showed maximum gross return, net return and benefit: cost ratio) respectively.
