Influence of Drip Irrigation along with Nitrogen Levels on Yield Attributes, Yield and Quality Parameters of Rabi Drill Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill)
Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different levels of drip irrigation along with various nitrogen levels in drill fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) during rabi season of 2012-13 and 2013-14 at Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh. Sixteen treatment combinations comprising of drip irrigation at 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 PEF and surface method of irrigation in main plot and four levels of nitrogen viz., 0, 60, 90 and 120 kg ha-1 in sub-plots were evaluated in split plot design with three replications. The study indicated better plant growth, number of umbels plant-1, number of umbellate umbel-1, number of seeds umbellate-1, 1000 seed weight, seed yield as well as stover yield and protein content in seeds of fennel. Drip Irrigation at 1.0 PEF (I3) recorded significantly the highest seed yield (1833 kg ha-1) and stalk yield (2867 kg ha-1) over drip irrigation at 0.6 PEF.
