(medium early to medium late) under new cultivated soil conditions and using drip irrigation system. This experiment included 16 treatments which were 3-organic fertilizer sources i.e., Chicken manure, Biogas manure and Compost, each at 50 kg N/fed. or without organic fertilizer within 4-total levels of N (50, 100, 150 and 200 kg N/fed.). Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers were added to all treatments at 75 kg P2O5¬ and 150 kg K2O / fed., respectively. Also Fe, Zn and Mn EDTA were sprayed at rates of 0.2, 0.08 and 0.07 kg / fed., respectively. It can be generally concluded that potato plants supplemented with 150 kg mineral-N + 50 kg organic-N as chicken manure gave the most favourable growth, the highest total yield per feddan with the best tuber quality of potato, Sponta cv. grown in...
