| Summary, etc. | The present project was to study the effect of drip irrigation along with two colours of plastic mulching on the growth and yield of summer season vegetable. Two types of irrigation methods, drip and surface, and two colours of plastic mulches, black and transparent, were used in the experiment. Three levels of irrigation water, v, 0.8V and 0.6V volume, were applied in drip treatments. Mulches increased the soil temperature. High soil temperature was developed under transparent mulch compared to black mulch. Black mulch increased the soil temperature in the root zone by 3 to 4°C compared to non-mulched plots. This increase in soil temperature under the black mulch was advantageous to the crop. Presence of mulch sheet over the soil reduced the evaporation from the soil. Hence, moisture depleted from the non-mulched plots were more than mulched plots. Water saving obtained by the use of plastic mulch was about 30 to 35% in the different treatments. Black mulched and non-mulched treatments did not show significant difference in the plant height. Maximum plant height was observed in the non-mulched drip irrigated treatment with O. BV volume of water. Maximum plant spread was observed in the surface irrigated black mulch treatment. Surface irrigated treatments gave more plant spread than drip irrigated treatments. Use of mulch sheets reduced the weed growth in the field. Practically, there was no need of weeding from the plastic mulched plots. Earlier flowering and maturity of fruits were observed in the mulched plots. All treatments with black mulch increased the yield compared to the control. Treatment with black mulch and drip irrigation with O.BV volume of water gave 76.5% more yield than the control. Most of the treatments with transparent mulch reduced the yield. This reduction in yield was due to the high soil temperature developed under the transparent mulch. Yield was increased with the soil temperature upto an optimal level of about 46°C and then decreased with the increase in soil temperature. In drip method O.BV volume of irrigation water level was the best. It gave highest yield and growth in mulched as well as non-mulched treatments. Drip irrigation along with mulching in summer vegetable can reduce the cost of cultivation through efficient water management. Also the area of cultivation can be increased with the available water in the water scarce areas. |
