Abstract

Objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the integrated nutrient management on growth,
yield and quality of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Continuous application of chemical fertilizers causes nutritional
imbalance and adverse effects on the physico-chemical and biological characters of soil. Thus, an integrated nutrient
supply by chemical fertilizer along with organic manures is given importance, especially in heavy feeder crops like
potato. The experiment was conducted at PG Research Farm of M.S. Swaminathan School of Agriculture, Centurion
University of Technology and Management, Paralakhemundi, Odisha during rabi season of 2023-24 under the sandy
clay loam soil with an altitude of 90 m above the mean sea level. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete
block design (RCBD) with three replications and eight treatments: 100% recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN)
(T1), 90% RDN + 10% N through farm yard manure (FYM) (T2), 90% RDN + 10% N through vermicompost (T3), 80% RDN
+ 20% N through FYM (T4), 80% RDN + 20% through vermicompost (T5), 70% RDN + 30% through FYM (T6), 70% RDN
+ 30% through vermicompost (T7) and control (without any chemical fertilizer or organics) (T8). The application of 100%
RDN resulted in a significant increment till harvest in terms of growth parameters over the control. A significant increase
in total tuber yield (239.1%), starch content (8.7%), carbohydrate content (15.8%), net return (17.26 times) was also observed
under 100% RDN when compared to no chemical or organics application. Treatments integrating 90% RDN with organic
amendments such as farm yard manure (FYM) and vermicompost closely matched the performance of 100% RDN. The
study advocates for a balanced use of chemical and organic fertilizers, emphasizing the importance of optimizing nutrient
management to achieve sustainable agricultural practices that ensure high productivity, quality and economic profitability.
