Abstract:
The present “study of integrate nutrient management in potato under Chhattisgarh plain’’ was conducted during rabi season 2018-190 and 2019-20 at Research Farm of Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur Chhattisgarh. The experiment was consisted of nine treatments replicated thrice in Randomized Block Design. During the experiment, various observations such as emergence per cent and growth paramerts of the treatments were evaluated with respect to inorganic fertilizers with organic manure and biofertilizers. The emergence per cent was recorded at 30 days after planting (DAP). Among growth parameters, plant height, number of shoots per plant, number of branches per plant, number of compound leaves per plant, fresh weight, dry weight and dry matter content of shoots per plant was recorded at 45, 60 and 75 DAP. The study revealed that the emergence percentage and growth parameters were influenced by inorganic fertilizers with organic manure and biofertilizers significantly increased values were obtained. Among nine treatments, 50% FYM + biofertilizer + 50% chemical fertilizer were found best regarding emergence percentage and growth parameter.
