Family
Solanaceae
Importance:
Potatoes an important staple food crop .
used alone or with meat, fish, and vegetables.
Origin:
Introduced into Europe in the 16th century .
cultivated throughout the world including the
Indo-Pakistan subcontinent.
Climate:
 wide range of seasonal adaptability
 cool season crop
 moderately frost - tolerant
 Temperature recognized as influencing yield
 Young plants grow best at a temperature of
240C
 later growth is favored at 180C.
 Tuber production reaches a maximum at 200C
 at 300C tuber production stops entirely.
Soil:
 best on deep, fertile, sandy lo clay loams
 with good water retention capacity
 relatively weak, shallow root system
 in the soil limit rooting depth
 restricts water availability to the plant in dry
Periods.
 soil compaction can reduce potato yields
 Soil Aeration has a great effect on development of
tubers.
Manures and Fertilizers
 Potato has a high nutrient requirement
 Green manuring is beneficial
 Well rotted FYM at 30 t/ha should be incorporated
Into the soil 3 to 4 weeks before planting.
N : P2o5 : K2O
100 kg 80-100 kg 50kg
per hectare are sufficient- to obtain good yields.
Spacing:
 In hilly areas potatoes are spaced at 60 x 30 cm
 Tubers are planted in furrows
 In the plains planted on ridges spaced 30 cm apart
 Distance between ridges is kept at 45-60 cm.
Seed Rate:
Seed rate is 800-1000 kg/ha is generally recommended.
Irrigation:
Potatoes need frequent irrigation
1st irrigation should be given immediately after
sowing
2nd irrigation at one week intervals
After tuber formation irrigation is decreased.
Should be stopped a few days before harvesting
Harvesting:
 In developed countries harvested by mechanically
 In pakistan harvested by manually
 Care must be taken that tubers are not injured
 during the process. After harvesting, the crop
 should be kept in the shade
Yield:
 The average yield of potato is 20-25 tones/ha
Varieties:
 Diamante
 Cardinal
 Desiree
 Raja
 Sante
Diseases:
 Blight
 Powdery
 common scab
 black scurf
 stem rot, soft rot, brown rot
