Karnataka is one of the important potato growing states in India.
Primary and secondary data were used in the study. All the markets
showed positive and significant growth in arrivals and prices of potato.
The area and production of potato showed an increasing trend and
productivity showed decreasing trend. The seasonal indices of arrivals
and prices of potato showed seasonality in all markets. The market
integration model revealed high level of integration between all the
markets. The unawareness and non availability of Package of Practice
books was considerably high among all the farmers. Farmers were
satisfied with timely and adequate availability of potato seed tubers in the
state. Farmers opined absorption of all nutrients by first tuber as reason
for non uniform tubers while scientist claimed it to genetic nature.
