A field experiment was done to assess the influence of INM practices with in-situ green manuring on growth and yield of potato at College of Agriculture, Hassan, UAS, Bangalore during Kharif 2013. The experiment was laid out in a factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (FRCBD) with three replications and twelve treatment combinations including 2 fertilizer levels (75 and 100% RDF), 3 compost levels (0, and 25 t ha-1 compost) and in-situ green manuring with sunhemp and cowpea. The investigation revealed that among treatment combinations, 100% RDF + 25 t ha-1 compost + in-situ green manuring with cowpea recorded significantly higher plant height ( cm), number of leaves ( plant-1 ), leaf area (7576 cm2 plant-1 ), leaf area index (), leaf area duration ( days) and total dry matter production ( g plant-1 ). | Inclusion of in-situ green manuring as one of the important inm practice to improve the growth and economics of potato Solanum tuberosum L.
