A field experiment was conducted at experimental field, Department of Horticulture, Maharana Pratap University of Agriculture & Technology, Udaipur (Rajasthan) during the kharif season of 2013 and 2014 to access the response nutrient on growth and yield of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.). The experiment was conducted with Randomized block design replicated three times with eleven treatments viz. T1 control, T2 50% NPK (50:25:25) through RDF, T3 100% NPK through RDF, T4 NPK based on soil test, T5 100% N through FYM, T6 100% N through vermicompost, T7 100% N through neem cake, T8 50% N through FYM + 50% N through vermicompost, T9 50% N through FYM + 50% N through neem cake, T10 50% N through vermicompost + 50% N through neem cake and T11 50% N through RDF+ 25% N through FYM + 25% N through neem cake.
The yield contributing characters such as tuber weight, length, grith and tuber yield per vine, per plot and per ha of sweet potato crop were significantly higher by use of T6 100% N through vermicompost. This was found suitable remunerative treatment and help in taking decision for successful crop production of sweet potato from farmer's point of view.
