Package & Practicesfor production of Potato using T.P.S.
Raising Seedling: Seeds are shown at 0.5 cm depth in raised
nursery beds (6 inches or 15 cm ) prepared to good tilth with finely
powdered dry cowdung in rows at 10 cm apart and provide shade.Water with fine rosecane. Apply foliar spray 0.1°/a Urea solution
from 15th day after sowing on alternate days till the seedlings are
ready for transplanting ( 25 to 28 days) with 3 to 4 leaf stage. Care
should be taken against pests and diseases

What is ‘T.P.S. ?Tiny botanical seeds of Potato substitutes a bulky quantityof Potato seed tuber.
Why T.P.S. '2O 100 grams is sufficient to cover one hectare area instead of
planting 2-2.5 tons of Potato seed tuber.O Being hybrid capable of giving more production.Q Absolutely disease free seed material. I
No cold storage facility is required for storing T.P.S.O Practically no cost is involved for transporting T. P.S unlike seed
tuberO Comparatively more resistance to pests and diseases.O Net profit is more as cost of cultivation is less and also as the
per hectare production is more.O The seed tubers being utilised could be othenrvise used for
consumption.
Cost of production of Potato using T. P.S is approximately 55 percentless in comparisonn to cost of production of Potato using seedtuber. At the same time production may be obtained upto the levelof 35 M.T. per hectare.

Cultivation in the Main Field :Prepare the main field to a good tilth after labelling. Apply F.Y.M 20-
25 M,T. and 75 :100 :150 Kg. N.P.K per hectare.
Make ridges ( 6 inches or 15 cm height) and furrows at 50 to 60 cm.
apart in East-West direction. Irrigate the furrows to 3 inches or 7.5
cm. height. Transplant the seedlings on the next day jn the northern
side of the ridges at half the height, 15 cm. apart. On 35th day apply
75 Kg. Nitrogen per hectare after weeding and earthing up is to be
done in such a vyay that the plants come to the centre of the ridges..__-----.-----------.--`-----.---.-----._Provide irrigation as and when required. Apply P.P.C. on need base.

Small tubers upto 20 gins. size used as seed tuber.
Plequirement of seed tubers could be brought down to one-
third by using tuberlets.
Package & Practices forPI-oduction Of Tuberlet using T.P.S.
At present there are two methods in practice for producingseedling tubers in bed - Single Bow Method, Double BowMethod.
Single Row Method :
Prepare beds of 6 inches or 15 cm. height,1 mt. width and
according to convenient length at 0.75 cm apart. Brine to
good tilth mixing with finely powdered well-rotten dried
25 gins./ Sq.mt. respectively as basal dose. Sow 2-3 seeds
