Abstract: A field experiment on “Effect of potassium mobilizing bacteria on growth and yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in loamy sand†was carried out at the Agronomy Instructional Farm, Chimanbhai Patel College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar during rabi season of 2017-18. The soil of experimental plot was loamy sand in texture, neutral to alkaline in reaction and soluble salt content under safe limit. It was low in organic carbon and available N; medium in available P2O5, K2O, S and DTPA-extractable Fe and Zn and having sufficient DTPA-extractable Mn and Cu status. The results revealed that an application of 75% RDK along with soil application of KMB (potassium mobilizing bacteria) i.e. Frateuria aurentia (T7) was significantly higher which was par with 100% RDK (T1) and 75% RDK + soil application of KMB strains i.e Enterobacter asburiae + Frateuria aurentia (T8) significantly enhanced grade wise tuber yield such as small, medium and large size, total tuber yield as well as haulm yield of potato over rest of treatments. Similar trend was also noticed in case of total tuber yield on dry weight basis. The improvement in total tuber yield was the tune of 6.42 per cent over T1Âtreatment.
