Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate influence of different nitrogen rate and in-row seed spacing on yield, tuber size distribution and nitrogen use efficiency characteristics. Field experiment was conducted at the Gospic on private farm during 2009 growth season. The experiment used a split plot arrangement of treatments in randomized complete block design in four repetitions. Main plots were N supply rates (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 i 250 kg N ha -1 ). Sub plots were in-row seed space (25, 30 and 35 cm). Respectively to control, total tuber yield increased by increased N rate up to 150 kg N ha -1 (20.5 t ha -1 ). As N rate increased ratio of small tubers decreased and the lowest ratio of small tubers (9.86%) was obtained at 150 kg N ha -1 . The total tuber yield decreased for 22% as in-row space increased from 25 to 35 cm, but ratio of medium and large tubers increased marginally. The increased N rate decreased nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUtE) and nitrogen uptake efficiency (NUpE) significantly respectively to control. Varying in-row seed spacing from 25 cm to 35 cm decreased significantly N use efficiency characteristics (NUE, NUtE and NUpE) too. Because there is no the interaction effect it is necessary to continue investigation to find out the best combination N rate x plant density for potato growers.
