Abstract

The field experiment was conducted at UHS Bagalkot. The experiment was replicated thrice with three factorial randomized complete block design with 12 treatment combinations comprising of two different plant density viz., S1 (0.9 × 0.9 m) and S2 (1.50 × 0.75 × 0.60 m) and three levels of nutrient viz., F1 (7.5:7.5:11.25 g NPK/plant), F2 (10:10:15 g NPK/plant) and F3 (12.5:12.5:18.75 g NPK/plant) and two methods of nutrient applications viz., M1 (fertigation) and M2 (soil application). It was found that, treatment combination of S1M1F2 showed superiority in the growth attributes viz., maximum number of branches (7.60), number of leaves (268.33), north to south plant spread (45.33 cm) and east to west plant spread (47.33 cm). S2M2F1 recorded minimum days to 50 per cent flowering and days to first harvest (49.00 and 64.00 days respectively).

Conclusion

The overall growth, flowering and Quality of the plant is better in case of wider spacing with nutrient level of F2 (10:10:15 g NPK/Plant/Year) which is supplied through fertigation. However still research is needed to study the effect of irrigation interval on growth, quality and yield of the plant.
