Abstract:
Potato is very important food crop of India and needs attention to increase its production. The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of farm yard manure (FYM) and its interaction effect with potassium fertilizers on yield of potato. Highest yield improvement was recorded in the treatment T₃ FYM₃ (125 kg/ha K₂O and 24 t/ha FYM). The interaction effect of FYM and K fertilizer resulted significantly increased the tuber yield as compared to control. Yield increased by 56.25% over control with the application of 125 kg/ha potassium fertilizer and FYM 24 t/ha (T₃ FYM₃) and the same increased by 50% and 43.75%, when FYM is applied with 8 t/ha and 16 t/ha.
