Response of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Cultivars to Different Levels of Nitrogen

Comparison of Irrigation Methods in Terms of Vegetative Growth of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Cultivars

“…The maximum mean plant emergence (88.67 and 92.88%) was found with potato cultivar Kufri Pushkar, whereas, the minimum mean plant emergence (80.41 and 82.65%) was recorded with Kufri Surya during 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively. These results confirm the findings of Yadav et al, (2017) and Chongtham et al, (2016). The interaction effect was found non-significant which ranged between 79.96 to 90.77% and 80.51 to 95.83% during 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively (Table 1).…”

“…Among the potato cultivars, Kufri Pushkar showed significantly higher number of shoots per hill (6.54 and 6.72), whereas, the minimum value for number of shoots per hill (5.48 and 5.75) was observed with potato cultivar Kufri Pukhraj during 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively. These results confirm the findings of Yadav et al, (2017), Chongtham et al, (2016), Luthra et al, (2017 and Amarananjundeswara et al, (2018). During both the years, the interaction effect of different irrigation methods and potato cultivars was found significant regarding number of shoots per hill at 30, 60 and 90 days after planting (Table 5).…”

“…The potato cultivars also had significant effect on plant height at monthly interval as shown in Table 2, 3 and 4 ), Yadav et al, (2017) and Luthra et al, (2017. The different behaviour of potato varieties with reference to growth parameters might be due to their genetic factors (Patel et al, 2006).…”

Performance of Medicago sativa Grown in Clay Soil Favored by Compost or Farmyard Manure to Mitigate Salt Stress

“…An adequate amount of N and its bioavailability in the soil are different ways of promoting biomass allocation in plants. On account of Yadav et al [50], a high level of nitrogen promotes shoot growth while phosphorus stimulates root growth. Organic amendments to the soil not only enhance the availability of micronutrients in the form of slow-release but also maximize dry shoot biomass.…”
