Abstract
The productivity of organic farming has mainly focused on its relative crop yields than the proportions of organic matters in soil. However, organically cultivation changes crop yields at the same time it depends on types of crops grown. Here, we provide a pot experiment on the rooftop in Latin Square Designs (LSD) with a Diamant variety of potato and four treatment combinations to evaluate variety’s growth and yields. T0: Control, T1: 100% organic fertilizer, T2: 75% organic fertilizer+25% soil and T3: 50% organic fertilizer+50% soil was used for the present study with three replications.  Our analysis showed the tallest (23.78 cm) plant was in T2 followed by T1 and T3 (23.37 cm and 23.14 cm, respectively). T2 produced the maximal (76.44) number of leaves per stem followed by T2 and T3 (73.44 and 74.11, respectively). T1 generating the maximal number (6.89) of tubers per hill was significant than all the other treatments. The highest weight (19.13 gm) per tuber per hill was examined in T2 followed by T1 and T3 (17.05 gm and 12.91 gm, respectively). T2 produced the utmost tuber length (3.78 cm) followed by T1 and T3 (3.39 cm and 3.23 cm, respectively.  75% organic fertilizer+25% soil has concluded the potential to be grown successfully and the most suited treatment for production of potato (Diamant) in coastal areas of Bangladesh.
 
Key Words: Diamant variety, Coastal area, Tuber weight and Tuber length.
