Effect of irrigation levels on yield, water use, water use efficiency and NPK uptake of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) cultivars grown under drip system
Abstract:A field experiment was conducted at Instructional Farm, College of agriculture, Bikaner (Rajasthan) during rabi season to study the influence of drip irrigation levels on yield, water use efficiency and nutrient uptake of different cultivars of fennel. Results revealed that irrigation through drip at 1.0 PE recorded significantly highest number of umbels plant -1 (30.90) and number of umbellate umbel -1 (20.04). Water use was higher when crop was irrigated at 1.0 PE, where as water use efficiency was found max… Show more
“…The increased head yield in different cabbage varieties might have also increased dry matter production which ultimately increased the nutrient (NPK) uptake in cabbage head. Haque [11] in cabbage, Singh et al [12] in fennel and Kumari [13] in cowpea were also observed that uptake of nutrients was significantly affected with different varieties.…”
An experiment was conducted for two Rabi seasons in the years of 2021 and 2022 on four irrigation levels (60 per cent, 80 per cent, 100 per cent and 120 per cent PE) and four varieties of cabbage (Golden Acre, Pusa Mukta, Pusa Cabbage -1 and Pusa Cabbage Hybrid -81) at College of Agriculture, SKRAU, Bikaner. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. Results showed that the maximum potassium content in head was obtained under 120 per cent PE of irrigation level (2.03, 2.02 and 2.02 per cent) which was significantly higher over 60 per cent PE irrigation level (1.74, 1.72 and 1.73 per cent) and it was statistically at par with 80 per cent PE and 100 per cent PE irrigation level during the year 2021, 2022 and on pooled mean basis, respectively. The significantly higher uptake of potassium by head (92.21, 93.89 and 93.05 kg ha-1) was recorded under 100 per cent PE level over 60 per cent PE level (62.70, 63.63 and 63.17 kg ha-1) which was statistically at par with 120 per cent PE and 80 per cent PE irrigation levels during 2021, 2022 and on pooled basis, respectively. Among the varieties, significantly higher uptake of potassium by head recorded under Pusa Mukta variety (86.05, 87.40 and 86.72 Kg ha-1) over the Pusa Cabbage Hybrid -81 (71.74, 72.03 and 71.89 Kg ha-1) and it was at par with Golden Acre and Pusa Cabbage -1 were statistically at par with Pusa Mukta variety of cabbage. Potassium content in cabbage head was not significantly affected with different cabbage varieties during both the experimental years.
