The experiment comprising of four levels of nitrogen Drip irrigation . 90 N1 120 N2 150 N3 and 180 N4 kg ha and three fertigation frequencies . Economics every 3rd day F1 every 6th day F2 and every 9th day F3 was laid out in a Randomized Fertigation Block Design with three replication. The total tuber yield q ha biological yield frequency q ha marketable yield q ha and harvest index were significantly Nitrogen and higher when fertigation applied at every 3rd day F1 . Nitrogen levels exhibited significant Potato. difference for growth and yield. The maximum value for total tuber yield q ha Article Info biological yield ha marketable yield q ha and harvest index were maximum with the application of nitrogen @120 kg ha N2 . Interaction effect of Accepted fertigation frequency and nitrogen levels showed remarkable variation. The maximum total 04 April 2017 tuber yield q ha biological yield q ha and marketable yield q ha . Available Online Significantly higher marketable tuber yield q ha maximum net return Rs. 10 May 2017 1 17 488 ha and benefit cost ratio was found highest with F 1N2 treatment combination. .
