| dc.description | Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a Solanaceaeous tuber crop. It is a herbaceous,
succulent and dicotyledonous plant with alternate underground stolons as well as
alternate leaves on the stem above the ground. It was originated in the Andes near
the border of Peru and Bolivia in South America Bowe and Randall, 1993). In
Bangladesh the cultivation of potato was started in the late 19" century ee.
1999). | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm, Hajee Mohammad
Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur during November 2009 to
February 2010 to study the effects of Zinc and Manganese on growth and yield of
potato cv. Granola. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block
design (RCBD) with three replications. There were four levels of Zinc, viz. 0, 3, 4
and 5 kg Zn ha’! and also 4 levels of Manganese, i.e. 0, 1, 2 and 3 kg Mn ha’! for
this study. The results of the experiment revealed that plant height, number of
leaves plant”, number of main stems hill, number of tubers hill, weight of tubers
hill’, weight of tubers plot’ as well as hectare’ were maximum at 4 kg Zn + 1kg
Mn ha’, while the minimum values were recorded from the control. The effect of
Zn and Mn on days required to first emergence and 80% emergence of plants was
not significant. The tallest plant, maximum number of leaves plant’, maximum
number of main stems hill', highest number of tubers hill’, maximum weight of
tubers hill’ and highest weight of tubers plot’ and hectare” were found under 4 kg
Zn ha’. Results also showed that the different doses of Mn had no significant effect
on the growth and yield of potato. Increasing doses of Zinc resulted higher yield
than the control. The maximum yield of tuber (23.82 t ha’') was recorded in the
combination of 4 kg Zn + 1kg Mn ha”. | en_US |
