tailieunhanh - Yield and irrigation water use efficiency of bottle gourd (Lagenaria sicenaria L.) in response to different irrigation methods and planting geometries

A field experiment was conducted at the experimental area of Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, during kharif season of 2011- 2013 to evaluate the effect of different crop geometries and irrigation methods on the yield and irrigation water use efficiency of bottle gourd (Lagenaria Sicenaria L.). The experiment consisted of three crop geometries (G1 - row distance 3m and plant distance , G2 - row distance 2m and plant distance and G3 - row distance 1m and plant distance ) with two methods of irrigation (I1- ridge & furrow and I2 – check basin). | 2017 6 5 2475-2481 International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN 2319-7706 Volume 6 Number 5 2017 pp. 2475-2481 Journal homepage http Original Research Article https Yield and Irrigation Water Use Efficiency of Bottle Gourd Lagenaria sicenaria L.

The experiment consisted of three crop geometries Ridge and G1 - row distance 3m and plant distance G2 - row distance 2m and plant distance furrow Crop Yield and G3 - row distance 1m and plant distance with two methods of irrigation Efficiency I1- ridge amp furrow and I2 check basin . Results revealed that yield and irrigation water Water Basin use efficiency were significantly affected by both the methods of irrigation and planting geometries. Ridge and furrow method of irrigation recorded significantly P 2017 6 5 2475-2481 efficiency or productivity of currently commercial vegetable productions irrigation available irrigation water. Improving water is crucial to achieve high economic returns in use efficiency by 40 on rainfed and irrigated terms of both yield and product quality. lands would be required to counterbalance the Because of that farmers tend to over irrigate need for additional .
