RESPONSE OF FENUGREEK (TRIGONELLA FOENUM-GRAECUM L.) TO IRRIGATION SCHEDULING AT VEGETATIVE AND REPRODUCTIVE PHASES AND ORGANIC MANURES UNDER MIDDLE GUJARAT CONDITIONS
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 16
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during rabi seasons of 2010-11 and 2011-12 at College Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat to study the effect of irrigation at vegetative and reproductive phases with and without organic manures on growth, yield and nutrient uptake of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.). Significantly maximum values of growth attributes were obtained with irrigation applied at 0.8 IW: CPE + 1.0 IW: CPE (I3) during vegetative and reproductive stages, respectively. Similarly, all the yield attributes of fenugreek viz., the significantly higher number of pods plant-1 (55.98), number of grains pod-1 (16.48), grain yield plant-1 (7.40 g) and test weight (12.33 g) were recorded under the treatment receiving irrigation at 0.6 IW: CPE +1.0 IW: CPE (I2) over I1 and I4 and remained at par with I3. In addition, grain yield of fenugreek was recorded significantly higher (1827 kg ha-1) with the irrigation applied at 0.6 IW: CPE + 1.0 IW: CPE (I2) over all other treatments except the treatment I3 (0.8 IW: CPE + 1.0 IW: CPE) which was also found equally effective in respect of grain yield. It also fetched significantly higher nitrogen uptake in grain (59.34 kg ha-1) over the treatments I4 and I1 and remained at par with I3 in pooled mean. With respect to organic manure treatments, the significantly higher grain yield (1831 kg ha-1), straw yield (2712 kg ha-1) and significantly higher nitrogen in grain (3.29 %) and straw (1.40%) and their uptake by the plant (60.18 kg ha-1 by grain and 37.93 kg ha-1 by straw) was recorded under treatment M2 (FYM 5 t ha-1 + CC 1 t ha-1) over no FYM treatment but FYM alone (M1) also remained as good as M2.
