Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth and Yield Attributes in Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)

Response of Potato Growth, Yield and Quality to Fulvic Acid and Biochar Applications under Different Levels of Chemical Fertilization

“…Average tuber weight, yield/plant and total yield/fed were increased with increasing NPK level up to 100% RR in both seasons.These increases in total yield and its components may be due to the increases in plant growth characteristics, i.e, plant stem length, number of leaves, leaf area and foliage dry weight (Table 1) which increase photosynthesis rate and this in turn increased the total yield and its components. The obtained results are in harmony with those reported by (Kumar et al, 2001;Nizamuddin, et al 2003;Eleiwa, 2012 andShubha et al, 2018).…”

“…In this regard, (Singh andRaghar, 2000 andBărăscuet al 2015) found thatplant growth, plant chemical constituents were significantly enhanced by increasing the applied NPK. Similar findings reported by Elsharkawy (2013), Kumar et al (2001), Nizamuddin et al (2003), Eleiwa (2012) and Shubha et al (2018), they showed that total yield and its components as well as tuber quality were significantly increased with increasing the applied NPK. Also, Cucci and Lacolla, (2007), Adhikari, (2009) and Bošković et al, (2018) potato quality were enhanced with NPK applied.…”

Response of N, P & K Uptake Pattern under the Different Integrated Nutrient Management Practices on Potato, Solanum tuberosum L., Crop

“…On the other hand, the ecological concerns regarding residual toxicity due to indiscriminate and excessive use of chemicals by means of fertilizers and pesticides and their harmful effects on soil health as well as on biodiversity indicates an urgent need for a shift to available organic resources as manure along with fertilizers". Shubha et al [2] "Use of sub-optimum dose in imbalance form is one of the most potent factor for low productivity of potato. Thus, use of optimum dose in imbalance form is essential for higher production.…”

Influence of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth and Tuber Yield of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Crop under Heavy Soils of Punjab

“…Excess use of chemical fertilizers to obtain high yield has created various problems like deterioration of soil health in terms of physical and chemical properties of soil, ceased microbial activities and increased soil pollution. Hence, considering the economy, environment and maintain better soil health, it is imperative that plant nutrients are to be used effectively by adopting integrated nutrient management practices (Shubha et al, 2018).…”
