Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was set up in the Research Farm of Patuakhali Science and Technology University, during the rabi season of 2015 to evaluate the effect of fertilizers and manures on the growth and yield of Potato. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with two potato varieties namely Diamant (V₁) and Cardinal (V₂) and five different types and rates of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers viz. T₀: Control , T₁: NPK, T₂: NPK + CW(Cowdung), T₃: NPK+ PM(Poultry Mannure) and T₄: CW(Cowdung), + PM(Poultry Mannure) were used for the present study. The two–factor experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Result showed that almost all the characters were affected significantly due to the effect of varieties, organic–inorganic fertilizer and their combinations .In case of treatments, NPK with PM also showed the tallest plant (39.76 cm), highest fresh and dry weight (95.97 and 6.05 g plant^–1, respectively), CGR and RGR (0.086 and 0.218 g m^–2 day^–1, respectively), gross (24.36 t ha^–1) and marketable (23.39 t ha^–1) compared other treatments. In case of interaction, the highest plant height (41.00 cm), highst fresh and dry weight (96.87 and 3.62 g plant^–1, respectively), highest CGR and RGR (0.089 and 0.228 g m^–2 day^–1, respectively) as well as the highest gross (24.45 t ha^–1) and marketable (23.67 t ha^–1) yield were recorded in Diamant at NPK with PM. From the above observation it may be concluded that the variety Diamant at NPK + PM was more effective under Patuakhali region.

Start Date: 00-11-2015

End Date: 00-02-2016

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Organic fertilizer, Fertilizer, Potato

Objectives:

To find out the most productive variety, to select the effective combination(s) of organic or inorganic and organic– inorganic fertilizer that will ensure the higher production of potato;

To identify the best combination(s) of variety and organic–inorganic fertilizer in respect of production potentiality.

Methodology:

The research work was conducted at the research farm of Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU), Dumki, Patuakhali during the period from November, 2015 to February, 2016. The two cultivars of Potato namely Diamant (V₁) and Cardinal (V₂) were used as planting materials for the present study. The treatments of the present study are as follows: T₀: Control; T₁: NPK; T₂: NPK + CD (Cowdung); T₃: NPK+ PM (Poultry Mannure) and T₄: CD (Cowdung) + PM (Poultry Mannure). Two varieties of potato were used as the level factor A and the experiment were compared with five different treatment combinations of organic–inorganic fertilizers including a control as the level factor B.

Achievement/Findings:

Above observation of the present study, it may be concluded that the application of NPK with PM (T₃) was more effective combination for the production of potato while the variety Diamant was more suitable than Cardinal under Patuakhali region. The observation suggested that the production of potato can be more enhanced by applying NPK with PM. So, the application of NPK + PM may be recommended at farmers’ level for profitable production of potato.
