Abstract

An experiment with nine combinations of inter- and intra-row spacing and three seed sizes laid out at H. A. U. Regional Potato Research Station, Kharindwa (Kurkushetra) in 1972–73 and 1973–74, showed that total and net yield and quantity of 25–50 mm tubers, plant height and number of stems per plant all increased with the increase in seed size. The total yield and yield of seed size tubers increased with increase in plant population. Spacing of 50 and 60 cm between rows was found better than 70 cm during both the years under study.
