Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted at MLT site, Satkhira during rabi season 2007-2008. The objective of the experiment was to find out the suitable planting method for higher yield. Six planting methods was included in the study and found that raise bed with mulch gave highest yield (41.78 t/ha) whereas normal furrow and normal flat planting system produced the lowest yield (25.74 and 25.70 t/ha respectively).

Keywords: Planting Method, Mulching, Yield, Potato, Coastal area

Location: Satkhira

Start Date: 05-12-2007

End Date: 00-00-2008

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Potato

Objectives:

To find out the suitable planting technique of potato production in coastal area.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the farmer’s field at MLT site, Satkhira during the rabi season of 2007-2008. Six planting methods viz. raised bed (15cm height), raised bed with mulch, normal flat, normal flat with mulch, furrow with mulch and furrow were taken as treatment in the experiment. The experiment was RCB design with 3 replications. Unit plot size was 3m X3m. Urea, TSP, MP, Gypsum, Zinc sulphate and Borax were applied at the rate of 250-150-250-120-10-10kg/ha respectively. All fertilizers were papplied as basal during land preparation other than urea. Urea was applied at two times-20 and 40 DAS. The whole potato tuber was planted of 05 December, 07 with 60 X 25cm and harvesting as done on 04 March, o8. Potato variety Diamant was used as seed. Two irrigation was given. All the data were recorded at the time of harvest and statistically analyzed and the means were separated with DMRT test.
