Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect A balanced N x K fertilization increased potato tuber yield in field experiments at Shimla and Jalandhar.
- Intervention effect Increasing K doses increased the proportion of large marketable potato tubers.
- Intervention effect Potassium application decreased the incidence of late blight in potato.
- Intervention effect In 1998 a maximum potato yield of 40.8 t/ha was obtained at Kufri (Shimla) with 180 kg N, 100 kg P2O5 and 150 kg K2O per hectare, against 14.6 t/ha at the control plots.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that high potato yields and enhanced tuber quality can only be sustained with optimal nutrient doses in balanced proportion.
