Abstract: The present study was conducted at ICAR-Central Potato Research Institute- RS, research farm Gwalior during winter (Rabi) season of 2022-2023. The experiment was laid out using Randomized Design with treatments T₁: Control, T₂: Inorganic practices (standard technology), T₃: NADEP compost @ 25 t/ha + Azotobacter @ 1 L/ha + PSB @ 1 L/ha, T₄: T₃+ FYM @ 25 t/ha, T₅: T₃+Vermicompost @ 7.5 t/ha, T₆: T₃+ neem cake @ 5 t/ha + foliar spray of copper oxychloride @ 3 g/L (for management of foliar diseases), T₇: Integrated practice [90% RDF through inorganic sources {urea, SSP, MOP}, 10% RDF through organic sources i.e., FYM @ 25 t/ha. The findings of results reveals that treatment T₇ found better for tuber yield (37.654 t/ha), biological yield (55.277 t/ha), harvest index (68.12 %), gross return (Rs 376540/ha), net return (Rs. 289311/ha) and benefit-cost ratio (3.32). While, haulm yield found higher in treatment T₂ (17.816 t/ha) and cost of cultivation reported higher for treatment T₆ (Rs.200100/ha).
