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.
