Abstract: Among different irrigation methods, micro-sprinkler irrigation method (I2) was significantly influence on number of tubers per m² in different grade i.e. up to 25g (4.37 & 4.09), >25-50g (4.76 & 5.04), >50-75g (6.02 & 4.73) and  >75 g (12.84 & 14.46 g) Harvested at 75 DAP and 90 DAP, respectively, of potato over furrow irrigation method, whereas, among different dates of sowing, 15th October (D₄) had significant effects on potato growth metrics of potato i.e. up to 25g (5.78 & 5.36), >25-50g (5.41 & 5.43), >50-75g (7.20 & 5.39) and  >75 g (18.91 & 20.27) Harvested at 75 DAP and 90 DAP, respectively, over rest of the other planting dates during 2017-19. Number of tubers per m² in different grade of potato crop variety (Kufri Lima) sown on 15 October and harvested at 90 DAP by micro-sprinkler irrigation system performed best under Hisar conditions.
