The potato is now one of the major versatile food crops of the world because of the dry matter and edible energy content. Judicious application of different macronutrients and micronutrients increased in the production of potato. The objectives of this work were to know the effects of Zn and Mn on different growth parameters and yield of potato as well as to recognize the optimum doses for potato cultivation. Four levels of Zinc, viz. 0, 3, 4 and 5 kg Zn per hectare and also 4 levels of Manganese, i.e. 0, 1, 2 and 3 kg Mn per hectare were used for this work. The results of the work revealed that growth characteristics and yield were maximum at 4 kg Zn and 1kg Mn per hectare. These findings of the book might be helpful for farmer and farm entrepreneurs to increase the productivity of potato as well as business of the same.
This study investigates the impact of zinc and manganese application on potato growth and yield. The research aims to determine the optimal dosages of these micronutrients for potato cultivation, recognizing the crop's significance as a versatile food source. Four levels of zinc (0, 3, 4, and 5 kg/ha) and four levels of manganese (0, 1, 2, and 3 kg/ha) were applied to assess their effects on various growth parameters and overall yield. The findings indicate that the maximum growth characteristics and yield were achieved with the application of 4 kg Zn and 1 kg Mn per hectare, offering practical guidance for farmers and agricultural entrepreneurs.
The findings of this work are presented as potentially helpful for farmers and farm entrepreneurs seeking to increase potato productivity and profitability. The study's focus on specific micronutrient dosages suggests a practical, application-oriented approach to agricultural science. The results directly address the need for judicious nutrient management in enhancing crop yields. This research contributes to the understanding of how essential elements like zinc and manganese influence a major global food crop.
