An experiment was carried out at the Regional Horticulture Research Center (RHRC), Lebukhali, Dumki, Patuakhali during the period from November 2011 to March 2012 to study the effect of inorganic fertilizers and organic manures on the growth and yield of potato. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications and consisted of two factors. Organic manures and inorganic fertilizers and their treatment combinations showed a significant difference in respect of all growth and yield contributing characters of potato. The tallest plant (44.07 cm) and the maximum number of tuber (227.7) plot-1 were found from the F3M1 treatment at 75 DAP. A similar treatment combination also gave significantly the higher foliage coverage (40.47%), highest weight of fresh haulm (82.62 g) and dry haulm (10.09 g). The F3M1 treatment gained the highest gross yield (43.15 t ha-1) and marketable yield (43.03 t ha-1). The lowest scab percentage (0.28%) was also observed in F3M1 treatment. The study suggested that combination of 312.5 kg ha-1   Urea + 187.5 kg ha-1   TSP + 312.5 kg ha-1   MOP +15 t/ha cowdung (F3M1 treatment) can contribute the improvement of growth, yield and yield contributing character of potato.
