ABSTRACT
For studying the effect of irrigation scheduling and integrated nutrient management (INM) on yield and water use efficiency (WUE) of garlic grown on Vertic Ustocrepts of Soil and Water Management Research Farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat), one experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three levels each of irrigation scheduling (R1:0.6, R2: 0.8 and R3: 1.0 IW/CPE ratio) and INM (F1: 100 % recommended dose of N through inorganic fertilizer, F2: 50 % recommended dose of N through inorganic fertilizer + 50 % N through bio-compost and F3: 50 % recommended dose of N through inorganic fertilizer + 50% N through FYM). The results revealed that only the main effect of R and F were found to be significant on bulb yield of garlic. All the irrigation levels differed significantly among themselves. Treatment R3 (5019 kg/ha) performed better than R2 (4115 kg/ha) and R1 (3126 kg/ha). Similarly, treatment R2 performed better than R1. Among the INM treatments, treatment F2 (4338 kg/ha) recorded significantly higher bulb yield of garlic as compared to F3 (3781 kg/ha), but it remained at par with F1 (4142 kg/ha). WUE recorded under R1, R2 and R3 treatments were 7.44, 7.62 and 7.60 kg/ha-cm, respectively. It can be concluded that first irrigation just after sowing, second one week after sowing and remaining at an interval of 9-15 days and for getting higher bulb yield 50 per cent N through urea + 50 per cent N through bio-compost is essential.
