In order to study the effect of depth of drip placement in soil in subsurface drip irrigation, and fertilization time during irrigation events, on tuber yield of potato, an experiment was carried out in Jiroft area in 1389. This experiment was in a completely randomized block design with four replications, with depth placement of drip tape as the main plot, and fertilization time as the sub-plot. Results showed that depth placement of drip tape had a significant effect on tuber yield, plant height, number of stems, stem diameter and dry plant weight at 1% level, number of tubers in plant, and wet plant weight and stolen height at 5% level. Fertilization time had a significant effect on tuber yield, stem diameter, stem number in plant, and plant height at 1% level and on dry plant weight and plant tuber number at 5% level. But, it did not show any significant effect on other attributes. Also, interactional effects of treatments were significant on tuber yield per plant, stem diameter, plant height, and number of tubers at 1% level, and on dry plant weight at 5% level, but the effect on other traits was not significant. According to the statistical results, the highest yield was obtained from the depth of 15 cm and middle time of fertilization.
