Abstract
Field demonstrations were conducted at farmers’ field of Kacharital village, District Udalguri, BTR, Assam during the rabi season of 2020-21 and 2021-22. The soil was sandy loam in texture, acidic (pH 5.7) in reaction and medium in available nitrogen (282.50 kg ha-1), phosphorus (28.75 kg ha-1) and potassium (140.80 kg ha-1). Increase in the number of leaves plant-1, plant height, higher number of tubers plant-1, total tuber yield, was recorded in the treatment receiving Recommended Dose of Fertilizers (RDF) + FYM which was much higher than the control. The applications of recommended dose of fertilizer with FYM positively influence growth and yield of crop, economic parameters.
