Description The objective of this study was to evaluate the response of different organic and inorganic nutrients onphysical growth and yield of potatoes in Nyabihu District. The experiments were conducted in farmer’s fields in NyabihuDistrict during the agricultural seasons 2022 B (March - June 2022) and 2023 A (September 2022 – January 2023). Theexperiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with six treatments: T1 (Control), T2 (NPK), T3(Compost), T4 (FYM), T5 (Compost + NKP), and T6 (FYM + NPK) in three replications. Physical growth and yield of thepotato were evaluated. The collected data were subjected to ANOVA at 5 % level of significance and mean separationwith Least Significant Difference (LSD). There was a significant difference in potato growth and yield at P<0.05. Compostcombined with NPK had the highest influence on physical growth and yield followed by farm yard manure combinedwith NPK in both seasons. The least was control preceded by NPK alone. Crops performed better in season 2023 A than2022 B. Therefore, combination of organic and inorganic fertilizer synergically influence potato yield than when appliedindividually and it should be given special attention to increase potato yield.
