:10' E and altitude of 250 m). The experiment was arranged in twelve treatment combinations with strip plot design as horizontal factor (main treatment) one continuous irrigation (P 1 ), two pulses (P 2 ), three pulses (P 3 ) and four pulses (P 4 ), while vertical factor (sub treatment) as irrigation levels viz., I 1 (0.80 ET C ), I 2 (1.0 ET C ) and I 3 (1.20 ET C ) treatments. It was revealed that the average seasonal water applied to white onion under pulse irrigation (drip) through different irrigation levels varied from 276.8 mm for I 1 (0.8 ET C ) to 429.0 mm for I 3 (1.2 ET C ) irrigation levels. Among the different treatment combination I 2 P 4 (irrigation level I 2 (1.0 ET C ) with four pulse treatment P 4 ) was found 38.52 t.ha -1 and significantly superior over I 1 P 1 (irrigation level I 1 (0.8 ET C ) with continuous irrigation P 1 ). The production cost of Rs. 4,47,366 and Rs. 4,42, , gross returns of Rs. 9,63,000 and Rs. 9,31,500 ha -1 , net returns of Rs. 5,15,634 and Rs. 4,88,538 ha -1 and B C ratio of 2.15 and 2.10, were observed for I 2 P 4 and I 3 P 4 treatment combinations, respectively. Average water use efficiency was found maximum for I 1 P 4 (11.93 q ha -1 cm -1 ) treatment combination followed by I 1 P 3 (11.33 q ha -1 cm -1 ) and I 2 P 4 (10.99 q ha -1 cm -1 ) treatment combinations, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
