In this study, the effects of different irrigation methods on nutrients uptake, nitrogen and water use efficiency on potato were investigated. The experiment was conducted at Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science and in Laboratory of the Department of Soil Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during Rabi season of 2015-16 and 2016-17. To find the effect of irrigation methods and nitrogen levels on nutrients and water use efficiency of different treatments. The potato variety used for the investigation was Kufri Bahar. The treatments comprising of drip and furrow irrigation methods and five recommended dose of nitrogen (60, 80, 100, 120 and 140 % of RDN) were laid out in split plot design with three replications. The irrigation methods showed significant differences in all the treatments in both the years. The maximum value for nutrient use efficiency (kg/ha/kg), water use efficiency (kg/ha/cm), dry matter content in tubers and foliage (%), and nutrient uptake by tubers and foliage (kg/ha) were recorded with 100 % of RDN and drip irrigation. Hence, 100 % of RDN with drip irrigation condition have shown the best treatment combination for potato production under semiarid conditions of Hisar, Haryana.
