Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of foliar fertilization of zinc and manganese on growth and yield potential of potato at the experimental farm, School of Agriculture, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara during winter season of 2017- 18. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. There were ten treatments used in which one control and remaining treatment consists combination of zinc and manganese. Growth parameters were recorded at two different intervals viz.: 45 and 60 days after planting and yield parameters were recorded at the time of harvest. Growth parameter were plant height, leaf number while yield parameters were tuber weight, number of tuber, size of tubers per plot and yield were recorded. Quality parameters were protein; protien and TSS were recorded after harvesting. The results showed that the application of (Zinc 10.00 ppm and Manganese 10.00 ppm) showed significant positive impact on plant height, number of tuber, tuber weight and yield of potato. The application of Zinc (10.00 ppm) and Manganese (10.00 ppm) also shows significant impact on quality parameter viz.. protein and TSS. © 2018 Plant Archives. All Rights Reserved.
