ABSTRACT
Field experiment conducted to study the feasibility of introducing drip irrigation and fertigation in sweet corn. Drip fertigation at five levels were tried with three replications. The results revealed that irrigation at 1.0 x P.E recorded higher green cob yield (17.70 t ha-1) which was significantly higher than other irrigation regimes. Among the fertigation levels, 100 percent RDF through drip recorded significantly higher green cob yield of 18.06 t ha-1 and was on par with 75 percent RDF through drip.
Key words :
Drip Irrigation, fertigation, sweet corn, water use efficiency, yield, Zea mays saccharata.
