Description

ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi seasons 2004-05 on sandy clay loam to study the effect of nitrogen fertilizers and farmyard manure on yield, nutrient content and quality of potato (Solanum tuberosum L).The yield and quality of potato tubers were influenced by the rate of nitrogen and farmyard manure. Application of 180 kg N ha-1 along with 24 t FYM ha-1gave significantly higher yield. The concentration of N, P and K in tubers increased with increasing levels of N and FYM. Addition of N and FYM significantly enhanced the quality of potato. Maximum carbohydrate, crude protein and ascorbic acid was recorded in the treatment combination of N180F24.
