Abstract: To compare the different methods of fertilizer application viz. broadcast, banding and placement, two research trials were conducted the results indicated that in the autumn, 1998 trial, highest yield (18.56 t ha‾1) was recorded in T3 (placement) followed by 15.94 t ha-1 in T2 (banding) and lowest (12.22 t ha‾1) in T1 (broadcast). It was noted that 52% yield was increased with placement and 30% with banding over broadcast method of fertilizer application. Similarly in autumn 1999, maximum yield (15.67 t ha‾1) was recorded in T3 (placement) followed by 13.9 t ha‾1 in T2 (banding) and minimum (11.56 t ha‾1) in T1 (broadcast). Using banding and placement method of fertilizer application, 20.24 and 35.55% increase in potato yield was recorded over broadcasting of fertilizer, respectively. A significant difference was found in the three methods of fertilizer application.
