Role of Irrigation Regimes and City Waste Compost in Boosting Water Productivity, Root Density and Quality of Dissimilar Rice Varieties Beneath Climatic Condition of Varanasi

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: A field experiment was planned and carried out with entitled “Role of irrigation regimes and city waste compost in boosting water productivity, root density and quality of dissimilar rice varieties beneath climatic condition of Varanasi”for two successive years from 2017-18 to 2018-19 at Research farm of BHU, Varanasi. This experiment was carried out in split-plot design with three replications with the objective to study root density performance and water productivity under different water regimes, varieties and city waste compost. The result revealed that irrigation scheduling at 75 mm cumulative pan evaporation and Sahbhagi had produced significantly higher root density; among the nutrient treatments, MSW compost enriched with consortia was found distinctly superior over rest of the treatments in term of root density in addition to water productivity.
