Demonstrates that foliar nutrients improve yield and quality in potatoes, implying better economic returns.
AbstractA study was carried out to explore the response of foliar nutrients on economic yield and tuber quality of potato (Solanum tuberosum L., cv. Kufri Surya) at GBPUA&T, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, during rabi season of 2017-18. The experiment had eleven treatments replicated four times. Among all treatments, based on overall performance treatment T11 (75% N of RDF as basal + 2% foliar spray of 20:20:20 water-a soluble fertilizer at 30 and 45 DAP) was found best concerning marketable yield (36.71 t/ha), dry-matter content of tubers (20.42%), protein content in tubers (8.05%), specific gravity of tubers (1.11 g cc-1) and benefit:cost ratio (1.96). It is concluded that foliar application of nutrients had a notable impact on both yield and quality of potato tubers.
