Abstract
The present investigation was carried out at Student Instructional farm Narendra Deva
University of Agriculture and Technology Narendra Nagar Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) during
Rabi season 2017-2018. To evaluate the Effect of nutrient management practices on the
performance of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and soil fertility. The five treatments comprised
with various levels of 75% and 100% recommended doses of NPK, ZnSO4 (20, 30and 40 kg
ha-1) and 25% Nitrogen by Farm yard manure were tested against 100% NPK fertilizers alone
were replicated four time in randomized block design (RBD) potato crop the variety
KufriBaadshah was taken a test crop. Results revealed that the integrated use of 75%
recommended doses of NPK fertilizers (180:80:100), 25% nitrogen by Farm yard manure as
well as 20kg ha-1 ZnSO4 in potato was found superior for higher plant growth, productivity and
better marketable quality of tubers. The availability of NPK nutrients, organic carbon, moisture
retention capacity of soil increased while bulk density, soil pH, and electrical conductivity
decreased at higher rate by applying 75% recommended doses of NPK and 20kg ha-1 ZnSO4
fertilizers with Farm yard manure as compared to 100% recommended doses of NPK
fertilizers alone
