Field experiment for pea (Pisum sativum L.) (PB-89) crop was conducted during rabi 2016-17 and 2017-18 at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. The objective of the experiment was to study the impact of different irrigation methods, viz. drip, furrow and flood irrigation on crop growth parameters and yield of the crop. Better growth parameters, viz. plant height, leaf area index, dry weight of root and shoot and the chlorophyll content were recorded under drip irrigation. Plant height and leaf area index had a positive correlation to yield of the crop. Weight of grain was also positively correlated with the grain yield. There was increase in yields in 2017-18. Yield was found significantly higher under drip irrigation treatments.

“…The plant height in 2017-18 was almost 15-25% more than the year 2016-17. This may be due to improvement in soil condition in the second year due to previous year pea crop as also observed by Singhal et al (2018) for chickpea crop in the year 2017-18. The dry weight of root was not significantly different among treatments in both the years.…”

“…Irrigation is one of the most important sources of soil moisture in arid zones [51]. Previous studies indicated that different irrigation methods have important effects on plants and the availability of nutrients in the soil surrounding plant roots [52]. Li et al detected significantly higher nutrient levels in drip-irrigated soils than in conventional flood-irrigated soils in an arid zone [53].…”

Xinjiang is the largest arid and saline agricultural region in China. The common irrigation methods in this area are traditional flood irrigation and drip irrigation. In this study, we investigated the effects of these two irrigation methods on the fungal diversity, community structures, and functions in alfalfa rhizosphere soil as well as the associated environmental factors in northern Tianshan Mountain (Xinjiang, China). Soil enzyme activities (urease and neutral phosphatase) were significantly higher in the drip-irrigated alfalfa rhizosphere soil than in the flood-irrigated alfalfa rhizosphere soil, whereas the fungal alpha diversity in the drip-irrigated alfalfa rhizosphere soil was significantly lower than that in the flood-irrigated alfalfa rhizosphere soil. Six dominant fungal phyla were identified (>0.1%), with Ascomycota being the most abundant in all soils, followed by Basidiomycota (5.47%), Mortierellomycota (1.07%), Glomeromycota (0.55%), Rozellomycota (0.27%), and Chytridiomycota (0.14%). Ascomycota and Glomeromycota species were significantly less abundant in drip-irrigated alfalfa rhizosphere soil than in flood-irrigated alfalfa rhizosphere soil. A LEFSe analysis identified Cladosporiaceae (20.8%) species as the most abundant marker fungi in drip-irrigated alfalfa rhizosphere soil. Of the 13 fungal functional groups identified on the basis of the functional annotation using the FUNGuild database, Ectomycorrhizal (22.29%) was the primary functional group. Compared with flood irrigation, drip irrigation significantly decreased the relative abundance of Ectomycorrhizal and Arbuscular_Mycorrhizal, while increasing the relative abundance of Plant_Pathogen, although not significantly (P = 0.19). Available potassium was revealed to be the main environmental factor influencing soil enzyme activities, fungal alpha diversity, fungal community structures, and fungal functions in response to the different irrigation methods. In conclusion, drip irrigation may be more appropriate than flood irrigation in the Tianshan dryland agricultural area for enhancing soil enzyme activities, but it may also increase the abundance of plant pathogenic fungi in the soil.

Method of application of irrigation to the crop plays one of the most crucial roles in plant growth, development and overall production of the crop. To study the effect of different types of irrigation methods on the yield of the pea (Pisum sativum L. var. PB-89) crop, a field experiment was conducted at the research farm of the Punjab Agricultural University, in the winter of 2016–17 and 2017–18. Five treatments, viz. drip irrigation on crop grown on level field (T1), drip irrigation on crop grown on ridges (T2), flood irrigation (T3) and furrow irrigation (T4) all at 100% ET level and rainfed irrigation (T5) were compared. Each method of irrigation application had a unique soil moisture pattern during the crop growing period. Soil microbial properties were also studied for different treatments and although there was non-significant difference in microbial population among treatments, there was significant difference of biologicalactivity of the microbes with respect to different irrigation treatments, as reflected by the recorded dehydrogenase activity of the soil. Population of microbes was maximum at flowering stage. Yield of the crop varied significantly with the method of irrigation used. Maximum yield was obtained under drip irrigation treatment
