A field experiment was conducted from 23rd March to 31st May-2019 to evaluate the effect of drip irrigation levels on amaranthus (Amaranthus hybridus L) yield and water use efficiency under shade-net. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design (RBD) with five treatments (60%, 80%, 100% and 120% of water requirement using drip irrigation and 100% of water requirement using furrow irrigation) and four replications. The findings of the investigation revealed that the highest yields in terms of fresh leaves weight per plant ( g), fresh stem weight per plant ( g), economic yield per plant ( g), fresh shoot weight per plant ( g), fresh root weight per plant ( g), fresh biomass ( g) and economic yield per hectare ( t ha-1 ) investigated for different irrigation treatments were obtained by irrigating amaranthus crop with 100% of water requirement using drip irrigation and the lowest economic yield per hectare ( t ha-1 ) was obtained by irrigating the crop with 60% of water requirement using drip irrigation. The maximum and minimum water use efficiency ( kg m-3 ) and ( kg m3 ) were obtained by irrigating the crop with 80% of water requirement using drip irrigation and 100% of water requirement using furrow irrigation. | Evaluation of drip irrigation levels on amaranthus (Amaranthus hybridus L) yield and water use efficiency under shade-net
