Abstract

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important food and export crop in central highlands of Oromia region. The limiting macro and micronutrients were identified for the production of potato crops in Boneya districts. The rates of these nutrients for high potato yield and disease resistance are not yet determined. Therefore, this research was conducted to determine the effect of blended NPSB fertilizer rates on yield and yield related traits of potato varieties at Boneya Kebele, central highlands of Oromia region. The experiment was conducted as factorial combination of seven levels of blended NPSB fertilizer rates (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300 kg ha^-1) and three potato varieties (Belete, Gudane and Jalane) in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The results of the study revealed that variety and blended NPSB fertilizer had significant effect on crop phenology, growth, tuber yield and yield components except proportion of medium size tubers which is not influenced by the two main factors. Blended NPSB fertilizer had nonsignificant effect on days to 50% emergence, number of main stem/hill and proportion of large size tubers. Variety and blended NPSB fertilizer interacted to influence days to 50% flowering, average tuber weight (g), average tuber number, unmarketable tuber yield, and proportion of small, medium and large size tubers. The highest marketable tuber yield (30.74 t ha^-1) and total tuber yield (32.16 t ha^-1) was obtained by the application of NPSB fertilizer at highest rate of 300 kg ha^-1 which was followed by the application of 250 kg ha^-1. Gudane (29.52 t ha^-1) and Belete (29.48 t ha^-1) produced significantly higher marketable tuber yield than Jalane variety. Therefore, growing of the two varieties at highest rates of blended NPSB fertilizer could be recommended in the study area for producers, because of gives higher marketable yield.
