Author(s): D. NONGMAITHEM AND D. PAL
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years to study the growth and yield of potato during rabi season under different sources of organic nutrients. Application of  vermicompost @ 8 t ha -1 + biofertilizers in potato (cv.Kufri Jyoti) gave better effect in terms of
growth, yield as well as the biochemical parameters. There was significant increase in yield by the application of vermicompost@ 8 t ha-1 + biofertilizers (20.59 tha-1 over control (7.37 t ha-1). Application ofvermicompost@8 t ha-1+ biofertilizers showed positive effect on crop growth rate and tuber bulking rate of the crop..
