| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment was conducted during kharif, 2010 in University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad “H” block of Main Agricultural Research Station to evaluate the influence of integrated nutrient management practices on growth, nutrient uptake, yield and quality of potato. Totally 11 different treatments consisting of different organic and inorganic fertilizers, both alone and in combination have been tried. Among the different integrated nutrient management practices, application of 100% RDF + 25 tonnes of FYM ha-1 and 75% N through RDF + 25% N through sheep manure +25 tonnes of FYM ha-1 were significantly superior over the other treatments for all growth, yield, quality and nutrient uptake parameters and economics of production. Application of 100% RDF + 25 tonnes of FYM ha-1 has resulted in higher plant height (46.33 cm), number of leaves and number of shoots (40.47 and 5.20, respectively), leaf area (113.19 cm2), leaf area index (3.79) and leaf area duration (69.48 days), higher uptake of major nutrients viz., nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (165.28, 125.60 and 152.02 kg/ha, respectively) in potato plant. Yield attributing characters viz., yield per plant (223.33 g), mean tuber weight (65.23 g), tuber girth (14.32 cm), marketable yield (11.91 t/ha), total tuber yield (12.60 t/ha) and highest crude protein content in tuber (8.98%) was found with the application of 100% RDF + 25 tonnes of FYM ha-1 and was on par with the application of 75% N through RDF + 25% N through sheep manure + 25 tonnes of FYM ha-1. Apart from this the highest net income (Rs. 70164) and benefit cost ratio (2.46:1) was also realized with the application of 100% RDF + 25 tonnes of FYM ha- 1. | en_US |
