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.
