Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at the Agronomy research field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, during the period from November 2013 to March 2014, to study the responses of potassium (K) and different mulches on growth and yield of potato. The result revealed that K and/or mulch materials had significant effect on most of the growth and yield parameters studied in this experiment. Application of 125 kg K/ha along with rice straw mulch produced maximum yield (28.89 t/ha) and benefit cost ratio (BCR) (2.61). Although the combination of 125 kg K ha-1 and rice straw showed better growth and yield but 125 kg K/ha and water hyacinth also demonstrated statistically similar results. So, rice straw or water hyacinth mulch is suitable for better potato production along with applying 125 kg K/ha.
