Response to Potassium
Growth tends to be squat and bushy; leaflets bluish green and slight
intervenal chlorosis, marginal scorch and brown spots on under
surface, backward rolling

Effect of source and time of potash
application on Chipsona potato
• K-sulphate may be used than K-chloride, it
increases the tuber dry matter percentage and
chips recovery and decreases the oil percent of
chips without affecting yield.

Micronutrients deficiency and management
• Certain soil are deficient
• Increase in cropping intensity
• Lack of organic fertilizers
• Use of high analysis fertilizer

CPE (mm)
• Highest PG (>45 mm) and total tuber yield was obtained at 15 mm CPE
• SG, DMC,CC and RS not significantly affected due to different
irrigation regimes.

Importance of Weed control
Reduction in yield 10-80%
Compete for nutrients, moisture,
sunlight and space
