Aeroponic is well established technology for more efficient and high quality seed potato production. Anexperiment was carried out at Central Potato Research Institute, Regional Station, Gwalior (MP) to find out the suitablemethod of planting and irrigation for further multiplication of aeroponic minitubers under net house conditions with sixtreatment combinations. Aeroponic minitubers of two popular potato variety of the region viz Kufri Lauvkar and KufriSurya were planted with two types of seed beds viz flat bed and ridge and furrow with 30 cm √ 10 cm spacing in whichsprinkler and furrow irrigation method was applied. Among planting beds, significantly higher emergence% was recordedin ridge and furrow planting (87.22) over flatbed planting method (83.89). Weight of tubers was significantly higher insprinkler irrigation (105.7 q/ha), ridge and furrow planting (107.8 q/ha) and variety Kufri Lauvkar (114.1q/ha) over furrowirrigation (98.3 q/ha), flat bed planting (96.2 q/ha) and variety Kufri Surya (89.8 q/ha) respectively. Significantly higher seedsize (40-80g) tubers were recorded in sprinkler irrigation method (3% by number and 12.6% by weight) and variety KufriLauvkar (3.6% by number and 17.6% by weight) over furrow irrigation and Kufri Surya. Therefore, for higher production,minituber multiplication should be done in ridge and furrow method of planting with sprinkler irrigation under North-Central conditions of India.
