ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted during rabi, 2010-11 at Tribal Research-cum-Training Centre, Anand Agricultural University, Devgadh Baria, Dist. Dahod (Gujarat) to evaluate the effect of four irrigation treatments [Surface irrigation (0.8 IW/CPE ratio); 0.6 ADFPE (drip); 0.8 ADFPE (drip) and 1.0 ADFPE (drip)] and three levels of micronutrient mixture [0, 10 and 20 kg/ha] on yield, quality, nutrient uptake by sweet corn (Zea mays L. saccharata. Sturt.) cv. 'Madhuri' and also the availability of micronutrient content in the soil. Results revealed that applying of irrigation scheduling at 0.8 IW/CPE ratio (5 irrigations of 50 mm depth) recorded higher green cob yield (15124 kg/ha) and stover yield (20910 kg/ha) of good quality and increased the micronutrient uptake by plant and content in soil. Application of irrigation water by drip irrigation at 1.0 ADFPE at alternate day was the next best treatment. Similarly, application of 20 kg micronutrient mixture per ha recorded the increased the higher green cob yield (15452 kg/ha) and stover yield (19831 kg/ha) of good quality and micronutrient uptake by plant and content in soil over no application of micronutrient mixture.
