| Experiment Title | Effect of fertigation on vegetable okra in clay soils of South Gujarat | |||||||||||||||||||
| Research Type | Departmental Research | |||||||||||||||||||
| Experiment Background | Water is the crucial input for agriculture and the scarcity of water source is increasing at an alarming rate due to increasing cropping intensity. Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) is one of the important vegetables grown throughout the year, but in summer season it performed the best for production point of view. India is the topmost country, producing 4.18 million tonnes of okra annually, which is around 70 per cent of global okra production (FAO, 2008). In Gujarat the area under drip in vegetable crops is around 1.2 lakh ha. Efficient application of water and nutrients could enhance water and nutrient use efficiency as well as the productivity of crop; this could be achieved through the use of drip irrigation. Information on productivity of okra at varying levels of fertigation needed for effective management strategies for enhance okra production during summer season. Information related to nutrient distribution particularly drip irrigated okra is not available. Hence, this experiment is to be planned. | |||||||||||||||||||
