An expertment consisting of combination of four each of planting dates and nitrogen levels was conducted during rabi of 1991–92 and 1992–93 to find their effects on yield and economics of potato cultivation in satpura regton of M.P. Stgnificant yield differences were obtained with different dates and nitrogen levels. Nitrogen levels of 160 kg/ha on 25th Oct. of planting gave highest average yield (252.86q/ha) and net return (Rs 40.825/ha) with cost benefit ratio of 14.71 closely followed by 15th Oct. at same levels of nitrogen. From nitrogen 120kg/ha with planting date of 4th Nov. obtained average yield of 240.31q/ha with net-return of Rs 38.920/ha but cost benifit ratio was higher 15.44 than the other combinations.
