Field research was conducted on Phidim-8, Ithung, Panchthar district of Nepal during February 2022 to July 2022 to evaluate the performance of potato in different planting system in high hills of Nepal. Five different treatments viz., drilling, bund, line planting, behind the plough and random planting was selected and replicated for four times. The experiment was laid out in single factorial randomized complete block design. Crop growth parameter namely plant height and stem diameter at 55 Days After Planting (DAP) were not significantly influenced but later on it was highly significant and maximum plant height was seen on bund at 70 and 85 DAP which was 14.3 cm and 35.5 cm. Similarly, thickest stem diameter was recorded in bund planting at 70 DAP was 0.85 cm and on 85 DAP was 1.18 cm. Average number of potato tubers per plant, average number of tuber above 50 gm and average.. View More»
