Studies on effect of nitrogen and potassium nutrition on growth of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) under Southern Telangana Zone

Abstract:
In an experiment laid out in FRBD to evaluate the growth characteristics of potato grown under different fertilizer regimes viz., four nitrogen levels [85 kg ha^-1, 115 kg ha^-1, 145 kg ha^-1 and 175 kg ha^-1] and five potassium levels [60 kg ha^-1, 90 kg ha^-1, 120 kg ha^-1, 150 kg ha^-1 and 180 kg ha^-1] to evaluate the growth characters like plant height (cm), number of leaves, fresh and dry weight of roots (g), fresh and dry weight of haulms (g) and root to shoot ratio, it was revealed that the highest plant height was recorded in N₄K₂ (68.26 cm) and number of leaves in N₃K₂ (17.47).
