“…It is grown in the Mediterranean region, Europe, central and southern Asia (Kaur & Arora, 2010). The herb contains essential oils (2-4%), carbohydrates (36%), protein (15.68%), fiber (14.80%), ash (9.8%), fatty oil, and minerals (Carrubba, Catalano, & Bontempo, 2010;Kaur & Arora, 2010). The herb is reported to have a wide range of medicinal uses such as antispasmodic, carminative, diuretic, stimulant and stomachic (Charles, 2012).…”

The effect of different irrigation intervals and manure rates on agronomic parameters of dill were evaluated under three agro-ecological zones of Bhutan: ARDC-Bajo located at 1200 m asl, ARDC–Wengkhar at 1,700 m asl, and NCOA–Yusipang at 2700 m asl. The split-plot design arranged in randomized complete blocks with three replications was employed. The four levels of irrigation interval (control, every 3 days, every 7 days, and every 14 days) were allotted to main plots and four levels of manure (Control, 4 tons/acre, 8 tons/acre and 12 tons/acre) were allocated to subplots. The results showed that dill can be successfully grown in all agro-ecological zones under study. Fresh yield obtained at ARDC-Wengkhar (1.92 tons/acre) was significantly higher compared to that at NCOA-Yusipang (0.52 tons/acre) but not significant to that at ARDC-Bajo (1.41 tons/acre). Interaction of irrigation interval and manure rate significantly influenced plant height (P=0.02) and stem diameter (P=0.03) at NCOA–Yusipang, and stem per plant (P=0.02) at ARDC-Wengkhar. The irrigation interval of 3 days produced significantly better results except for the fresh to dry weight ratio at NCOA-Yusipang. Irrigation interval of 7 days yielded better results at ARDC-Bajo and ARDC-Wengkhar except for FDR at ARDC-Wengkhar. The increase in irrigation interval beyond 7 days resulted in 62% and 25% lower fresh yields at ARDC-Bajo and NCOA-Yusipang respectively. In contrast, irrigation at 3 days interval at ARDC–Wengkhar decreased the yield by 55% compared to 7 days interval. The manure treatments did not influence any of the parameters assessed at all sites. However, MR 8 tons/acre at NCOA–Yusipang, MR Control at ARDC-Wengkhar and MR 12 tons/acre at ARDC-Bajo yielded higher fresh yields compared to other manure treatments. We recommend the combined application of IR 7 days x MR 12 tons/acre, IR 7 days x MR 4 tons/acre, and IR 3 days x 8 tons/acre at ARDC–Bajo, ARDC-Wengkhar and NCOA–Yusipang respectively. Further, this research provides a reference guide for agricultural extensionists during promotional, advocacy and capacity development programs.
