Abstract :
In order to investigate the effect of different levels of biological fertilizers on potato performance (cv. Marfona), an experiment was carried out as strip plot based on RCB design with 3 replications in 2011 at Isfahan. Treatments included Nitrocara at 4 levels (0: control, 220, 330 and 440 ml.ha1) as a first factor and Nitroxin+ Phosphate at 4 levels (0+0: control, 20+100, 30+150 and 50+200 g.ha1 as a second factor. The results showed that the effect of Nitrocara fertilizer on tuber number, dry weight of tuber, tuber yield, tuber weight with lower than 35 mm diameter, tuber weight with 3570 mm diameter, tuber weight with higher than 70 mm diameter was significant. The highest and the lowest amount of these traits were achieved for 440 mg.L1Nitrocara and control, respectively. Effect of Nitroxin+Phosphate on tuber number, dry weight of tuber and tuber yield was significant and the highest and the lowest amount of these traits were recorded for 20050mg.L1Nitroxin+ Phosphate and control, respectively. Interaction of Nitrocara× Nitroxin+Phosphate was significant for tuber dry weight, tuber yield, tuber weight with lowers than 35 mm diameter and tuber weight with 3570 mm diameter. The highest and the lowest tuber dry weight, tuber yield, tuber weight with lowers than 35 mm diameter and tuber weight with 3570 mm diameter were obtained for dual application of 440 ml.ha1Nitrocara with 20050mg.L1Nitroxin+ Phosphate and control, respectively.
