Abstract: The field experiment was conducted at Main Experiment Station, Department of Vegetable Science, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad (U.P.) during Rabi season of 2011-12 and 2012-13. To evaluate the five planting dates (17 October, 27 October, 7 November, 17 November and 27 November) and black scurf incidence with four varieties (Kufri Ashoka, Kufri Pushkar, Kufri Bahar and Kufri Arun) experiments were arranged in Randomized Block Design with factorial concept, replicated four. A perusal of data indicated that with the delay in planting significantly increased the incidence of black scurf. Minimum incidence of black scurf (11.07 and 10.62%) was recorded when the crop was planted on 17 October (20 days early planting), while maximum (24.20 and 23.23%) was observed in planting the crop on 27 November (20 days late planting).The production of potato tubers was obtained i.e. 471.48q. and 487.48q/ha was significantly highest with 17 November planting of variety Kufri Arun during 2011-12 and 2012-13, respectively. Thus, the results revealed that the best time for planting of potato in eastern Uttar Pradesh on 17th November which shifted from 7th November of planting due to climate change.
