Abstract

The effect of different multiplex yield enhancers was studied on the growth and yield parameters of potatoes, it worked variably at different stages of the crop. The treatment T10 which includes a recommended dosage of fertilizer, organic manures, essential nutrients, and biostimulants has shown a positive effect in increasing the plant height (36.00 cm, 46.67 cm, and 48.33 cm), number of branches/ plant (5.89, 7.56, and 10.22), number of leaves/ plant (65.78, 82.78 and 98.44) and numbers of tubers/ plant (at 30,60 and 90DAP). The treatment T15 has reported the highest yield/ plant and hectare (0.54 kg and 17.86 t/ha respectively) because of the foliar application at the reproductive phase. Whereas the treatment included Biojodi has recorded the lowest pest and disease incidence. As potatoes are a nutrient-exhaustive crop, combining Organic and inorganic sources of nutrient management would be helpful over chemical fertilizers.
