EFFECT OF DIFFERENT MULCHING AND IRRIGATION SCHEDULING ON WATER REQUIREMENT OF BOKCHOY
Subject area: Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences · Area of research: Agricultural Engineering
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to study the Bokchoy productivity under drip irrigation with different mulching at Mhasrul farm of K. K. Wagh College of Agril. Engg. And Tech, Nashik during February 2018 to March 2018. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with six treatments. Crop water requirement was calculated by using daily pan evaporation data. Crop water requirement was observed highest in March. The total water requirement with 100% irrigation treatment throughout the crop period was 28.77 lit/plant (208 mm) and with 80% irrigation treatment it was 23.01 lit/plant (166 mm). Irrigation was scheduled at two days interval.
Keywords
