A field experiment was conducted during
2008–2009 and 2009–2010 to investigate the effect of organic
sources of nutrients on tuber bulking rate, grades and specific
gravity of potato tubers. The experiment consisted 24 treatment
combinations with 8 treatment in popcorn [control,
recommended dose of fertilizers (N120P25K35 kg ha - 1)],
farmyard manure equivalent to 120 kg N ha - 1, leaf compost
equivalent to 120 kg N ha - 1, vermicompost equivalent to
120 kg N ha - 1, farmyard manure equivalent to
90 kg N ha - 1, leaf compost equivalent to 90 kg N ha - 1
vermicompost equivalent to 90 kg N ha - 1 in succeeding
crop of potato, three treatments [control, farmyard manure
equivalent to 60 kg N ha - 1 and farmyard manure equivalent
to 90 kg N ha - 1] were superimposed on the different treatments
of pop corn. It was found that the application of
farmyardmanure equivalent to120 kg Nha - 1 to pop corn and
farmyard manure equivalent in 90 kg N ha - 1 in potato gave
the highest values of tuber bulking rate, specific gravity,
number of large–sized (A–grade) and medium–sized tubers
(B–grade) and total tuber yield followed by vermicompost
equivalent to to 120 kg N ha - 1. Farmyard manure equivalent
to 90 kg N ha - 1 to potato also recorded the higher bulking
rate, tuber yield, specific gravity and a number of large sized
tubers (A– grade and B–grade) as compared to the farmyard
manure equivalent to 60 kgNha - 1. The available N, P, andK
in soil also improved with the application of organic manures.
