dc.descriptionAbstract : A field experiment was conducted to study impact of drip fertigation and conventional fertilization on growth and yield of brinjal, at Dr. PDKV, Akola during November 2019 to May 2020. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with five treatments which includes four drip fertigation levels (75, 100, 125, and 150 % of RDF) and control treatment of traditional fertilization at 100 % RDF and these all treatments are replicated four times. The study indicated that all drip fertigation levels showed higher plant growth, more number of branches, higher number of fruits per plant and enhancement in the yield. It was also seen that treatment T3 (Drip fertigation at 125 % RDF) recorded significantly highest yield of brinjal (518.96 q/ha) which was found at par with treatment T4 of drip fertigation at 150 % RDF (511.60 q/ha). So, the treatment T3 may be suggested as a best treatment, considering the requirement of less amount of fertilizer in treatment T3 than treatment T4. Lowest yield of brinjal was observed in treatment T5 (Traditional fertilization at 100% RDF). Treatment T3 (Drip fertigation at 125 % RDF) was recorded highest water use efficiency 8.79 q/ha-cm followed by treatments T4, T2, T1 and T5. Considering the highest net monetary return (187338 Rs/ha) and B: C ratio (2.51) it can be concluded that treatment T3 (Drip fertigation at 125% RDF) was found best among all treatments. So it is economically viable for the farmers to adopt drip fertigation at 125 % RDF for brinjal production.en_US

Description : The experiment was conducted to Impact of drip fertigation and conventional fertilization on growth and yield of brinjal during rabi season at research farm of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, Dr. PDKV, Akola during November 2019 to May 2020. The field experiment was conducted in randomized block design, with five treatments replicated four time each. The treatments of study comprised of various combinations of different drip fertigation levels (75 %, 100 %, 125 % and 150 % of RDF) and traditional fertilization method (control 100% of RDF) with polyethylene mulch.
