Hello Guys, its me Adeety Neupane from IAAS, TU , Illam. Currently, I am undergoing in my last semester of BSc Horticulture and interning in Prime Minister Agriculture Modernization Project, PIU Bhaktapur, Potato Zone. I am doing research on Fertilizer Trial in Yield of Potato ( Potassium and Zinc) in Sudal, Bhaktapur. Potato is one of the important crops in Nepal but the production is still relatively low. Many factors have been resulting in the low productivity of potato. Some of them can be reported as due to lack of good quality seed, unbalanced mineral nutrition, and inadequate application of fertilizers, pests and disease, irregularity of water supply and traditional irrigation schemes and schedules. Proper application of adequate nutrient is the major option to maximize production and productivity. Most of the farmers in the area are still cultivating potato with use of organic manures only. External minerals required for the growth and development of the plant is not supplied. Due to the reason the productivity is less than expected. Due to the lack of proper expert ideas and lack of awareness the production is lagging behind. Potassium plays a key role in water relations and good overall plant health. Potato plants absorb large quantities of potassium throughout the growing season. Zinc is an essential micronutrient for normal healthy growth in plant that uptake as a divalent cation (Zn2+).Zinc deficiencies can affect plant by stunting its growth, chlorosis and smaller leaves and inferior quality of harvested products.
