ABSTRACT
A field investigation was conducted on lateratic soils of Department of Agronomy, Dr.B.S.K.K.V.Dapoli during rabi season 2006-07 to study the response of okra to different drip irrigation and mulching tratments. There were two factors studied in experiment viz., drip irrigation and mulches. Thus the combination of 5 main plot treatments and 4 sub-plot treatments formed 20 treatment combinations. The treatments were replicated thrice in split plot design. On the basis of results obtained from present investigation it could be concluded that, under ample water availability for getting the maximum yield, net profit from okra cultivation, the crop may be grown with check basin irrigation as per recommendation with transparent polythene. Under moderate availability of irrigation water, okra may be grown under drip irrigation scheduled at 100 per cent of ET with transparent polythene and under limited water availability, the crop may be grown with drip and irrigation scheduled at 40 per cent of ET with transparent polythene.
