The experiment was conducted at Lembang Experimental Garden, Lembang Horticultural Research Institute during the dry season 1988, to study the effect of tuber seed size and NPK (15-15-15) fertilizer on growth and yield of potato. A Randomized Block Design with factorial arrangement and three replication was used. The two factors are tuber seed size (B) and fertilizer dosages (D) with level factor i.e. b1 = (10-20) g, b2 = (20-30) g, b3 = (30-40) g, b4 (40-50) g, b5 = (50-60) g; and d0 = 0 kg NPK/ha, d1 = 500 kg NPK, d2 = 750 kg NPK/ha, d3 = 1000 kg NPK/ha. Plot size 3.5 cm x 4.0 m and plant distance 70 cm x 50 cm. The results indicated that: there was some interactions between NPK usage (15-15-15) and tuber size. The highest stem number was reached on the 50-60g or 60-70 g treatment at 44 days after planting. The most acquired large tuber averaged 3.75, 50-60 g and 60-70 g. Treatment tuber seed size and NPK dosage treatment on tuber size weight 20 g, 20-60 g and 60 g did not show significant differences. NPK (15-15-15) dosage treatment as much as 1000 kg gave better effect on weight average and total number of tuber per plant
