The experiment was carried out at the District Seed Farm, Adisaptagram, Hooghly (West Bengal), India during two consecutive winter seasons of 2011-12 and 2012-13 to find out optimum N dose of potato cultivars for getting higher yield as well as to identity efficient potato cultivars regarding N use. Average yield of potato cultivars increased significantly with increase in N supply up to 225 kg N ha . Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) decreased towards higher N levels for all cultivars. NUE of Kufri Himalini was higher at all N levels. The results revealed that irrespective of cultivar 225 kg N ha -1 was the optimum for getting higher tuber yield of potato and cultivar Kufri Himalini was the most efficient in case of N use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
