ABSTRACT

The experiment comprising of four levels of nitrogen, i.e., 90(N1), 120(N2), 150(N3) and 180(N4) kg/ha and three fertigation frequencies, i.e., every 3rd day (F1),  every 6th day (F2) and every 9th day (F3), was carried out at Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, CCS H.A.U., Hisar during Rabi season of 2014-15 to evaluate the effect of fertigation frequency and nitrogen level on the yield and yield parameter of potato cv. Kufri Bahar. The treatments were laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The number of tuber/m2 (>50-75g and >75g grade), yield of tuber/m2 (>50-75g and >75g grade), total tuber yield were significantly higher when fertigation applied at every 3rd day. However, number of tuber/m2 (up to 25g, >25-50g grade), yield of tuber/m2 (up to 25g and >25-50g) grade were maximum in F3. Nitrogen levels exhibited significant difference for growth and yield. The maximum value for number of tuber/m2 (>50-75g and >75g), yield of tuber/m2 (>50-75g and >75g), total tuber yield were maximum with N2. Interaction effect of fertigation frequency and nitrogen levels showed remarkable variation. The maximum number of tuber/m2 (>50-75g and >75g), total tuber yield with F1N2. When fertigation applied at every 3rd day with nitrogen @120 kg/ha was found significantly superior to all other treatments combination.

Key words: Drip irrigation, Fertigation frequency, Nitrogen, Potato and Yield
