ABSTRACT
An investigation was carried out at the Horticulture Research and Development Farm, Taldangra, Bankura, West Bengal on 4-year old vines of Arka Neelamani planted at 3 m x 2 m on Y-trellis with the view to know the effect of method and interval of irrigation on growth dynamic, yield and fruit quality. There were 6-irrigation treatments viz., basin irrigation @16 lit. water/vine daily, 1-day interval, 2-days interval; drip irrigation @16 lit. water/vine daily, 1-day interval and 2-days interval. The experiment was conducted following Randomized block design having six replications with three plants of each. Results of two consecutive years of investigation revealed that method and interval of irrigation had significant effect on growth dynamics, fruit production, quality improvement and water use efficiency. Drip irrigation resulted in better growth dynamics which in turn gave higher yield as compared to basin irrigation irrespective of interval of application. Among the six irrigation treatments, drip irrigation at one day interval not only resulted in highest yield increment of 134.4 % but also maximum water use efficiency (500.40 kg/ha/cm).Higher bunch and berry weight and better fruit quality were also recorded from the drip irrigated vines. Regarding irrigation strategy, vines should be irrigated daily after pruning to 2-leaf stage, one day interval from flowering to near-fruit maturity and 2-days interval during fruit maturity for better growth dynamic, fruit yield and fruit quality respectively.
