Abstract:
The present study was conducted at Research Cum Demonstrational Farm, College of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidalaya, Raipur, Chhattisgarh during the year 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. The experiment was conducted using variety of Kufri Pukhraj under Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications comprising ten treatments of fertilizers viz., T₁: 75% NPK as per recommendation, T₂: 100% NPK as per recommendation, T₃: 125% NPK as per recommendation, T₄: 75% NPK as per YT 35 t/ha,T₅: 100% NPK as per YT 35 t/ha, T₆: 125% NPK as per YT 35 t/ha, T₇: Without N fertilizer (PK), T₈: Without P fertilizer (NK), T₉: Without K fertilizer (NP) and T₁₀: Without NPK (Control). Result regarding quality parameters such as tuber dry matter content (19.39%), specific gravity (1.079), starch content (12.39%), reducing sugar (0.24%), non-reducing sugar (0.32%) and total sugar (0.56%) were found to be higher with the application of 125% NPK as per YT 35 t/ha. However, the maximum protein content in tuber (1.91%), carbohydrate (13.59%) and total soluble solid (6.04%) was recorded with application of 125% NPK as per recommendation. While, the minimum was recorded under without NPK (Control).
