Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out during 2019-20 to 2020-21 on light-textured soil at R.B.S. College, Bichpuri Agra on potato, variety KUFRI Chipsona to ascertain the effects of three intra-row planting spacing, i.e. S1-15cm ,S2-20cm and S3-25 cm (at fixed ridge spacing 45 cm )and tree size ( weight )of potato seed tubers viz. P1 - 20g, P2-30gand P3 -40g in factorial R.B.D with tree replication. The effect of spacing and size of seed tuber are important agronomic practices in the production of potato. However, potato farmers in India often use haphazard plant spacing and size of seed tubers, which contribute to the low yield of the crop. A study was designed to elucidate the effect of varied plant spacing and size of seed tubers on the yield and quality of potatoes. Average tuber weight was significantly affected by the combined effects of plant spacing and the size of seed tubers. The highest average shoot height (47.73 cm) was obtained from 45 × 15 cm plant spacing and 20g seed tuber sizes at treatment combination S1P1. The highest average tuber weight (59.36 g) was obtained from 45 × 25 cm plant spacing and 30g seed tuber sizes at treatment combination S3P2. Total tuber yield was significantly affected by plant spacing and seed tuber size where the maximum tubers yield (446.6 q ha-1) were obtained at S3P3 (45 × 25 cm plant spacing and 40g seed tuber sizes) treatment combination. The highest percentage of A Grade tubers (38.7%) was obtained from 45 × 20 cm plant spacing and 30g seed tuber sizes at treatment combination S2P2., B grade tubers (49.48%) were obtained from 45 × 25 cm plant spacing and 15g seed tuber sizes at treatment combination S3P1 and C grade tubers (28.63%) was obtained from 45 × 15 cm plant spacing and 20g seed tuber sizes at treatment combination S1P2. The use of treatment combinations S3P3 and S3P1 are recommended for potato production over other seed tubers size and plant spacing combinations, which farmers can use to get maximum yield.
