Effect of irrigation and phosphorus levels on broad bean (Vicia faba L.)for improving growth, yield and water extraction pattern

Abstract

The experiment was carried out during 2009-10 and 2010-11 rabi seasons to find out the effect of irrigation and phosphorus doses on growth, yield and water extraction of broad bean. Crop irrigated at Y = -0.03 MPa at 30 cm soil depth showed 5.33% and 34.97% higher seed yield compared to  = -0.05 MPa at 30 cm soil depth and rainfed, respectively and was significantly superior. Treatment receiving 75 kg P 2 O 5 /ha was significantly superior with 5.33 t/ha seed yield which was 8.33% and 28.74% higher over 50 kg P 2 O 5 /ha and 25 kg P 2 O 5 /ha, respectively. Growth and yield attributing characters also followed the trend of seed yield. Irrigation applied at Y = -0.03 MPa at 30 cm soil depth markedly enhanced nodule number, net return (Rs. 32200.98 / ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.32) over other irrigation treatments. Among different P levels the highest nodule number, net return (Rs. 36834.22 / ha) and benefit cost ratio (1.32) were recorded with the application of 75 kg P 2 O 5 /ha. The study revealed that, Soil moisture extraction by the crop increased with the advancement of crop growing period and again it decreased till harvest. Moisture extraction rate increased with the increase in moisture status of the soil.

Influence of Seed Size, Plnting Epth and Phosphorus Fertililization Level on and Yield Components Characters of Local Broad Bean (Vicia Faba L.).

“…ha -1 ), even though three is no significant differences between the two levels. This is similar to Issa results (2009); Hashemabadi (2013); Huthily and al-Hassani (2014); Kubure et al (2016) and Sarkar et al (2017).…”

“…The highest number of seeds / pod was observed at Erbil for the plants sown at (15 cm) depth (6.64 seeds / pod), which was not differ significantly from the depth (5 cm) as it gave (6.46 seeds / pod), while at Mosul site there is no differences in number of seeds / pod between different depths. The second level of fertilization at both sites surpassed significantly number of seeds / pod comparing with the other levels and gave 6.54 and 6.37 seed / pod at Erbil and Mosul respectively, this corresponds with Huthily and al-Hassani (2014); Sarkar et al (2017). The interaction of seed sizes and sowing depths was significantly higher for the three sizes at (5 and 15 cm) depth at Erbil, the results were resemble to Mosul, and this is in consistent with the results of Singh et al (2010).…”

“…ha -1 ) surpassed in pod length, 100 seed weight, seed yield and biological yield, while the number of days for maturity, number of pods /plant and harvest index did not affect. Sarkar et al (2017) found that phosphate fertilization rate (75 kg P2O5. ha -1 ( increase the number of seeds / pod, 100 seed weight and seed yield comparing with (0, 25, 50 P2O5 kg.…”

Growth, yield and water use of drip irrigated cassava planted in the late rainy season of North Eastern Thailand

“…This was associated with higher storage root number and storage root fresh weight per plant as compared to the non-irrigated (rainfed) control. Sarkar et al (2017) also stated that plants under higher water supply recorded higher dry matter accumulation, leaf area index and leaf area duration, whereas the lowest values of such traits were more pronounced at rainfed treatment. In the present study, irrigation treatments increased the storage root yield by 34-60% as compared to rainfed crops, depending on the amount of water application.…”

An Attempt to Mitigation of Irrigation Water Deficit Stress in Pea (Pisum sativum, L) Plants by Phosphorus Fertilizer

“…The highest nodule number, net return / ha and benefit cost ratio were recorded with the application of 75 kg P 2 O 5 /ha. of broad bean (Sarkar et al, 2017).On the contrary, its deficiency leads to significant reduction in pods and seeds yield productivity of mung bean (Ali et al, 2010) and adversely affected the growth characters ( leaf area, leaves and pods number per plant, seeds number per pod, weight of 1000 seed and seed yield/ hectare in peas (Ashraf et al, 2011). The P scarcity situation become worst under shortage of irrigation water that lead to reducing in affect fertilizer efficiency and great production of legumes crop (Hussein et al, 2012).…”
