Yield and yield attributes of bhindi as influenced by irrigation schedules and split application of nitrogen

Abstract

Studies conducted at the Agronomic Research Station, Chalakudy revealed that yield attributes and yield of bhindi raised in summer rice fallows were favourably influenced by frequent irrigation. Daily irrigation was found to be the best treatment. Though not significant, application of nitrogen in 2 equal splits with 50 per cent as basal and 50 per cant 30 days after sowing favourably influenced yield attributes and yield. The study also revealed that field water usa efficiency was higher in less frequently irrigated plots.
