The field study consisted of eight treatments, in which drip fertigation was given in T1 to T3 with 75%, 100% and 125%of recommended dose (RDF, 80:40:40 kg NPK/ ha) as straight fertilizers N and K (urea and MOP) and SSP was applied as basal dose. In T4 to T6 fertigation provided with 75%, 100% and 125% RDF of water soluble fertilizer (19:19:19). Drip irrigation with 100% RDF (all as soil application) was given in T7 and T8 with drip irrigation and STCR based fertilizer application. |
