Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a starchy, tuberous crop belongs
to Solanaceae family (also known as the Nightshades). Potatoes are
the world's fourth largest food crop, following rice, wheat, and
maize. Genetic testing of the wide variety of cultivars and wild
species suggest that the potato has a single origin in the area of
southern Peru, from a species Solanum brevicaule complex. Soil
health is a crucial factor for obtaining higher yield of vegetable
crops. Poor soil health, soil structure, reduced microbial
activities may result in deduction in plant growth and yield. To
improve soil health, structure, fertility and productivity organic
materials such as farm yard manure, compost, sewerage sludge and
municipal waste has been used. Chemical fertilizers are also used
to obtained sustainable productivity. To feed huge some of
population, it is imperative to improve crop productivity with
least effect on environment. This could only be achieved by the
integration of conventional and non conventional approaches. This
study was initiated to monitor the effects of humic acid and
hydrogel on growth and yield performance of potato under general
field conditions.
