“…both in Belg and Meher season while the earliest time to flowering was recorded at control both in Belg and Meher season which is Statistical the same as T2, T3, T4 and T5 in Belg season and T10 and T9 in Meher season. This could be cattle, manure combined with mineral NP can result in the improvement of soil characteristics (physical and biological) this in turn increases nutrient availability encourage vegetative growth there by photsynsty is This result is similar with the findings of [35,36] they reported excessive vegetative growth and delayed flowering due to high nutrient dosage levels, in addition, [37] reported that the application of N and P fertilizers delayed the time required to attain flowering of potato.…”

Soil fertility decline is considered as one of the major causes for resulting in reduced yield of potato production in abelo area Masha district sheka zone of south-western Ethiopia. Hence, a field experiment was conducted in Belgand Meher season, in abelo area, Masha district south-western Ethiopia, to investigate the effect of combined use of application of Cattle Manure (CM) with mineral NP on growth, biomass yield, quality, of potato tuber. The treatments comprised combinations of three rates (2.5,5, 7.5t ha -1 ) of CM with 25%, 50% and 75% of recommended rates of mineral NP, respectively. In addition, 100% recommended rate of mineral NP for the experimental site (165 kg N ha -1 and 137 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1) and zero rates were used for comparison. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications.The results revealed that applying 7.5 t ha -1 CM combined with 75% mineral NP gave significantly Days to 50% flowering by 7 daysi.e. From 56-6 and14 daysi.e. from 51-65, days to 50% maturity by 5 daysi.e. from (101-106) and 13 days from (95-108) and increases plant height from 56-69 and 63-78, Increase shoot fresh weight by 39.66% from (1274.59-1780.2 ghill ),increased dry matter content from (21.085-25.782) and (22.36 to 24.47), specific gravity from (1.083-1.107) and (1.092 -1.101) reduces small tuber size percentage ) and improves medium size tubers from (65.56 to 74.79) and (44.58 to 80.26) in Belg and Meher season as compared to zero application. Respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that, the use of combined application of CM (7.5 t ha ) can significantly increases growth, biomass yield, improvement in tuber quality.

“…This is also bad with regard to human health and typically the environment (Arisha and Bardisi, 1999). The conventional use of mineral fertilizer can increase the tubers yield but inordinate use of nitrogen has a negative effects on tubers quality, environment pollution, public health and economical losses (Najm et al, 2011), reduces starch, dry matter and sugar contents in tubers and potatoes go bad more rapidly during the storage (Balemi, 2012).…”

A field experiment was implemented in 2015/2016 winter season at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Mansoura University, Mansoura, Egypt, to study the effect of organic, biological and mineral fertilizers on the productivity and quality of potato plant. The experimental design was splitplot design with four replicates. The main treatment (control=without organic and bio(O 0 B 0 )-Organic fertilizer(O 1 B 0 )-bio-fertilizer(O 0 B 1 )-organic fertilizer+bio-fertilizer(O 1 B 1 ) while the sub-main treatment was mineral fertilization at rates of (100%,75% and 50%of fertilizer recommendation dose). The obtained results were: Biological and organic fertilization (B 1 O 1 )+75% of mineral fertilization resulted in a significant increase in the yields of fresh and dry weight, 17100 and 3099.38 kg.fed -1 , respectively. Also, (B 1 O 1 ) led to a significant increase in the (%) of N,P and K in potato tubers, where it gave the highest content of nutrients 1.03, 0.4788 and 2.3%, respectively. While 100% of NPK fertilizers led to a significant increase in the N,P and K percentage(%), they were 0.92, 0.3667 and 1.97%, respectively. There were insignificant differences between the means of B 1 O 1 +75% and B 1 O 1 +100%. Therefore, the treatment of bio+ organic fertilizers with 75% of mineral fertilizers may be simulated with the treatment of 100% of mineral fertilizers, it means that may be saving in mineral fertilization by 25%. With regard to the quality parameters for potato, it was found that for total soluble solids (TSS), protein%, starch%, and %dry matter, the effect of treatment of organic+bio-fertilization (B 1 O 1 ) together was the best treatment for the quality characteristics as well as 100% of the recommended fertilizers dose.

“…A higher tuber yield was determined by higher levels of potassium incorporated together with manure compost, which actually amounted to 214 kg ha -1 , whereas its incorporation with other composts resulted in 43-89 kg ha -1 . Balemi (2012) found that manure used in combination with mineral fertiliser increased potato tuber yield more compared to the application of this fertiliser alone. …”

In 2015-2016, research was carried out on a Haplic Luvisol (LV-ha) with predominant sandy loam and a pH KCl of 4.9-5.2 with a view to finding out how composts produced from sewage sludge, green waste and biogas production waste influenced potato tuber, spring oilseed rape seed and threshing residues yields as well as the concentrations of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and heavy metals in tubers, seeds and threshing residues. An experiment was conducted in the fields of Elmininkai Experimental Station (Anykščiai distr., Eastern Lithuania) of the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry. The composts were incorporated into the soil twice, in September in 2012 and in October in 2014. The mineral fertilisers used were ammonium nitrate, granular superphosphate and potassium chloride. Mineral fertilisers were applied in spring prior to sowing. Potato tuber yield in the treatments without mineral fertilisation was significantly increased by all types of composts applied in the experiment: biogas production waste compost -by 48.0%, green waste -43.5%, cattle manure -33.9% and sewage sludge -27.5%. However, these composts did not increase spring oilseed rape seed and threshing residues yields. Mineral fertilisers had a greater impact on them -the achieved seed yield increase was 40.4% higher. Chemical composition analyses of potato tubers, spring oilseed rape seeds and threshing residues showed that biogas production waste compost increased N concentration. In potato tubers K concentration was increased by all investigated composts, but most of all -by that of manure. In rape seeds, K concentration was increased by biogas production waste, sewage sludge and manure composts. In the yields of the investigated plants P concentrations were not affected by any of the composts applied. Compost influence on the variations of individual heavy metal (Cu, Zn, Mn, Pb, Cd and Ni) concentrations in potato tubers, spring oilseed rape seeds and threshing residues was different.
