Effect of Nitrogen and Sulphur on Growth and Yield Attributes of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)

Effect of blended chemical fertilizer (sulfur, nitrogen and phosphorus) on yield and yield components of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in the rainy season

“…The present investigation is in line with those of Singh et al (2016) that reported application of nitrogen and sulfur fertilizer resulted a significant increment on marketable and total tuber yield. Similarly, Sharma et al (2011) reported that application of sulfur fertilizer resulted significant differences on yield and raising the level 0 to 45kg/ha increased total tuber yield per plant by 32.55%.…”

“…According to Israel et al (2012), application of nitrogen from 0 -165 kg N ha -1 and phosphorus from 0 -60 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 increases marketable tuber number by 56.36 and 19.2% respectively as compared to control. Similarly, Singh et al (2016) reported that application of 180 kg N 2 along with 50 kg S 2 increase the number of tuber by 43%. Rosen and Bierman (2008) reported that application of phosphorus fertilizer had significant contribution to increase total tuber yield and total number of tubers per plant as compared to unfertilized.…”

“…According to Jamaati-e-Somarin et al (2009) increasing nitrogen level up to 110 kg/ha increased the stem number; however further increases nitrogen fertilizer level did not affect it any more. Singh et al (2016) and Melkamu and Minwyelet (2018) reported that nitrogen with sulfur fertilizer resulted in a significant and maximum number of stem per plant.…”

Integrated Application of Micronutrients to Improve Growth, Yield, Quality and Economic Yield in Potato - A Review

“…Application of 200 kg N/ ha and 15 kg Zn per hectare recorded the highest dry matter content in tuber, good quality of tuber colour and reducing sugar content. Singh et al, (2016) in their study observed B: C ratio is more than 1 by all treatments that consists different concentrations of Sulphur along with NPK. Among all treatments, 180 kg/ha Nitrogen and 50 kg/ha Sulphur showed highest net income and benefit cost ratio.…”

“…Islam et al, (2014) reported that by application of Sulphur increases plant height, stems per hill, leaves per hill and total dry mass. Singh et al, (2016) conducted an experiment to study the effect of four levels of nitrogen and three levels of sulphur application on growth and yield characters of potato in split plot design with three replications and eleven treatments. The study revealed that application of Nitrogen 180 kg/ha and Sulphur 50 kg/ha significantly increased characters, namely, plant emergence, number of shoots and plant height.…”
