An investigation was carried out on sandy loam soils of tarai regions of Uttarakhand to analyze the potential of drip irrigation along with mulch technically as well as economically. The treatments of the study were comprised of four irrigation levels (, , and ) with mulch (silver/ black-100 micron) and non-mulch conditions along with control (100% ). The study revealed that drip irrigation along with mulch showed better performance in terms of yield, water use efficiency as well as economics. Maximum yield of t/ha along with maximum net return of Rs per hectare and B: C ratio of was recorded in T7 ( along with mulch). So the experiment suggests that drip irrigation along with mulch has the potential to provide greater benefit by optimizing the use of water resources. | Economic feasibility of drip irrigation regimes with mulching in Mango cv.
