EFFECT OF IRRIGATION REGIMES AND LATERAL SPACING ON DRIP IRRIGATED WHEAT
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Wheat is one of the important cereal crops grown all over the world as well as in India. Due to its importance as a cereal crop and main leading staple food, determination of optimum water requirement through drip irrigation which is function of soil crop and atmosphere is needed for achieving more crop production and higher productivity per unit of water. Keeping in view, a field experiment was undertaken to access the conjugate effect of three irrigation regimes (0.6 IW/CPE, 0.8 IW/CPE and 1.0 IW/CPE) and three lateral spacing (0.60 m, 0.80 m and 1.0 m) on productivity of wheat. Split plot design with three replications was adopted. Drip irrigation with 0.6 m lateral spacing and 1.0 IW/CPE ratio resulted higher grain yield, plant height, straw yield, harvest index and 1000 grain weight of 4298 kg/ha, 94.2 cm, 6249 kg/ha, 40.89 and 46.56 gm respectively. Highest water use efficiency (11.75 kg/ha.mm) was observed at 0.6 IW/CPE with 0.60 m lateral spacing.
