| Experiment Title | Effect of different levels of saline water and mulching on drip irrigated summer okra under coastal salt affected soils | ||
| Research Type | AICRP Trials | ||
| Experiment Background | In coastal areas of Gujarat, it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain good quality irrigation water for agricultural production. Mismanagement and incorrect irrigation practices have led to salinity problems in these areas, especially where natural drainage conditions are poor. Further, ingress and incursion of sea water has led to deterioration of ground water quality. Use of poor-quality water for irrigation has led to accumulation of salts in the soil as the water evaporates or is used by plants. Water logging and soil salinization development in coastal and canal irrigated areas in Gujarat coupled with poor irrigation efficiency. Okra is a major vegetable crop cultivated in about 0.85 lakh ha area with productivity of 11.97 t/ha in Gujarat (2020-21). Although salinity stress has been reported to adversely affect the growth and productivity of okra, it is considered a semi-tolerant or moderately tolerant crop compared with many other vegetable crops. Fifty percent reduction in fresh fruit yield of okra has been reported at 6.7 dS/m. Looking to these situations, the present study envisages the need for a better water use micro irrigation and mulch to mitigate the above said situations hence this experiment has been proposed. | ||

Main plot: Salinity levels of IW I1 : Best Available Water (BAW) I2 : 2 dS/m I3 : 4 dS/m I4 : 6 dS/m Subplots: Mulching M1: No mulch M2: Sugarcane trash mulch (@ 5 t/ha) M3: BPM (50 µ thickness with 50% coverage) Note: - Rice crop will be taken during subsequent kharif season after okra - Drip irrigation system will be operated at 0.8 PEF on alternate days. - Recommended common dose of biocompost @ 10 t/ha will be applied before sowing okra. |
