Type: article
Abstract: Field experiment was conducted on Research farm, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishvavidyalaya Raipur during summer 2016 to study the response of drip fertigation intra row seeding of legume and planting geometry on soil health productivity and net return of summer maize. The experiment was laid in strip plot design with six vertical drip fertigation and intra row cowpea and three horizontal planting geometry with eighteen treatments. Six fertigation and intra row cowpea treatments include (F1) Drip fertigation 100% RDF, (F2) Drip fertigation 125%RDF, (F3) Surface irrigation (furrow) 100%RDF, (F4) Drip fertigation 100 % RDF + intra row cowpea (F5) Drip fertigation 125% RDF + intra row cowpea (F6) Surface irrigation (furrow) 100%RDF + intra row cowpea and three horizontal treatments include (S1) 30 x 20 cm, (S2) 45 X 20 cm, (S3) 60 x 20 cm. Highest water use efficiency was found in drip fertigation 125 % RDF + intra row cowpea which was comparable with drip fertigation 100 % RDF + cowpea and drip fertigation 100% RDF.
