“…Nitrogen is the most important nutrient for potato growth and yield, and without its application, tuber yield reduction can reach up to 70% (Banerjee et al 2016). Application of N can increase the size and number of tubers that ultimately enhance total yield (Kumar et al 2007).…”

The multifarious relationships between nitrogen application, energy consumption and GHG emissions are still not well understood in irrigated potato production system. There is a need to ensure that N and energy use are closely considered to provide useful options for adaptation and to build resilience at the farm level. A field experiment was conducted during the winter (November-March) of 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 at the District Seed Farm, Adisaptagram, Hooghly, West Bengal, India (23°26 0 N latitude and 88°22 0 E longitude with an altitude of 12 m above mean sea level), under sub-humid subtropical climatic condition of West Bengal, India. The objective of the study was to assess environmental and economic sustainability in potato cultivation as influenced by nitrogen fertilization. This paper examines nitrogen application and energy consumption relationships for irrigated potato production system in eastern India. Results showed that net energy gain was the highest with the supply of 225 kg N/ha for both Kufri Himalini and Kufri Jyoti and 150 kg N/ha for Kufri Shailja. However, maximum values of energy ratio, specific energy and energy intensiveness were recorded with 300 kg N/ha for all three tested cultivars. Total estimated GHG emission per ha increased with the increase in N level from 0 to 300 kg N/ha, regardless of cultivars. Net benefit of potato cultivation was observed to increase with increasing levels of N application up to 300 kg N/ha (for K. Himalini) and up to 225 kg N/ha (for K. Shailja and K. Jyoti). The highest GRF for K. Himalini was observed at 300 kg N/ha, while for K. Shailja and K. Jyoti the maximum GRF was associated with 150 and 250 kg N application per hectare, respectively.

“…Most of the potato growing areas in West Bengal show multi-nutrient deficiencies, resulting in poor yield, low quality of tubers and less profit (Mondal 2015). Adoption of intensive cropping system with high yielding varieties of crops with less or no micronutrient management are the main cause behind this wide-spread micronutrient deficiencies (Banerjee 2016;Raigond 2017). Most of the potato growers of alluvial potato belt of West Bengal largely grow traditional table purpose potato cultivars, which records sub-optimal yield and low market price as these are not suited for processing industries.…”

Aim : Methodology :Results : Interpretation :The study aimed to investigate the effect of soil and foliar boron fertilization on the growth, productivity and quality well as benefit in processing grade potato (Kufri Chipsona-3) in alluvial soil at West Bengal, India.A field experiment was carried out on alluvial soil at West Bengal during the winter season of 2014-15 and 2015-16. The experiment comprised of five treatments [T , Recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) of NPK; T , RDF of NPK + 2.0 kg soil applied B/ha; T , RDF of NPK + 0.1% boric acid spray at 40 days after planting (DAP); T , RDF of NPK + 0.1% boric acid spray at 40 and 60 DAP; and T , RDF of NPK + 0.1% boric acid spray at 40, 50 and 60 DAP] arranged in a completely randomized block design replicated four times. Plant growth, yield, nutrient concentration and quality parameters of potato tuber (specific gravity, total soluble solids, tuber hardness, total acidity, Vitamin C and protein) were analyzed in the experiment.Experimental findings showed that RDF of NPK + 0.1% boric acid spray (thrice) produced significantly higher number (3.70 × 10 ha ) and yield (33.49 t ha ) of processing grade tuber than other boron levels (foliar and soil) tested. Application of RDF of NPK + 0.1% boric acid spray (thrice) exhibited its superiority by producing tubers with significantly higher specific gravity, total soluble solids, tuber hardness, total acidity, Vitamin C, protein and starch content with lowest phenol content and lighter chip colour.

“…Moreover, K favors the translocation of photosynthesized compounds (Westermann, 2005; Zelelew et al, 2016; Tränkner et al, 2018) and the production of large and heavier tubers in response to K fertilization (Karam et al, 2011). In the final growth period (60–90 DAP), the omission of K in the planting furrows in a clay soil decreased the growth rate of potato tubers by 27% (Banerjee et al, 2016). According to Li et al (2015), in 60.8% of 192 experiments on sandy‐loamy to clay‐loamy soils with low to high levels of exchangeable K, compared to the treatments without K application, the application of KCl at preplanting increased the tuber mean weight by 30 g.…”

Potassium (K) is the most taken up and removed nutrient by potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), and has a great influence on tuber yield and quality. This study was performed to evaluate the effects of three rates (100, 200, and 400 kg K2O ha−1) and two timings of application of K (single application at planting furrow and split application of 50% at planting furrow plus 50% at hilling), as potassium chloride, as well as a control (without K application) on the plant nutrition and tuber yield and quality of potato ‘Agata’ grown in tropical clay soils. The split application of K fertilizer had little influence on plant nutrition and tuber yield and quality. The influence of K fertilization on increasing K and reducing Ca and Mg concentrations in the leaf was more significant in soil with low exchangeable K. In this soil, the maximum tuber yield (33.6 Mg ha−1; 107% higher than the control) was obtained with an estimated rate of 325 kg K2O ha−1, while in the soils with medium and high exchangeable K, the tuber yield was increased between 22 and 34% and only up to a rate of 200 kg K2O ha−1. The critical leaf K concentration to reach 95% of the maximum yield was 29.3 g K kg−1, but there was an extreme increase in the tuber yield even with K rates that provided leaf K concentrations above this limit. Potassium fertilization increased the firmness and reduced soluble solids and protein in tubers. Core Ideas K is the nutrient that is most taken up and removed by the potato crop. In clay soils, the splitting of K fertilization has little influence on potato tuber yield and quality. K fertilization increases tuber yield more, and up to higher rates in soil with low K concentration. K fertilization increases the tuber firmness, but reduces the soluble solids and protein concentration.
