Abstract: This study, n Performance of Two Irish Potato Varieties Applied with Different Levels of Complete Fertilizer in the Wet Season Culture" , was conducted to determine which of the two varieties of Irish potato would favorably respond to the different levels of complete fertilizer (14-14-14) and to test the 2daptab11ity of these varieties (Russet Burbank and Atlantic) to DSAC condition especially during the wet season culture. Using the split—plot method, a field with an area of 96 square meters was divided into three (3) equal blocks and subdivided into 30 subplots to constitute the different treatments. The varieties used were the Atlantic and Russet Bur-bank 0 Applying the different levels of complete fertilizer to each respective treatment was done prior to planting. The only disease infesting the crop was the Bacterial soft rot caused by Erwinia caratovora. The damage on plants was not so serious and was controlled by pulling the damaged plants The study revealed that V (Atlantic) was more superior in some agronomic characteristics such as in the height of the plants, number or marketable and non-marketable tubers and the weight of tubers. Plant applied with 107016 grams per treatment or 334.87 kgs. per hectare produced the highest yield for both varieties (Atlantic and Russet Burbank)
