Effect of super absorbent polymer, potassium and manure animal to drought stress on qualitative and quantitative traits of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo)
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
To study the effects of manure, super absorbent polymer and potassium on yield and yield components under drought stress experiment pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo) form split plot randomized complete block design with three replications at Agricultural Research Station, located near the University of Zabol, Sistan. Treatments consisted of three irrigation regimes, to 5, 8 and 11 days of treatment, no use of manure as a source of potassium and super absorbent polymer (control) at a rate of 40 tons of manure per acre, potassium (K2SO4) to the extent 100 kg per hectare to 300 kg per hectare and super absorbent polymer as a minor, was considered. The results suggest significant effect of treatments on mean ¬ weight, diameter, hollow fruit yield and seed number, fruit number per square meter, grain weight and grain yield. Among the various treatments, manure treatment was effective in increasing the number of characters. The highest seed weight, seed yield, seed oil content and oil yield was obtained by the use of super absorbent polymers. nteraction of irrigation and fertilizer treatments on fruit weight and the yield was significantly. The results showed that irrigation had a significant effect on the diameter of the fruit and seed protein.
