| Abstract/Description: | Field experiment conducted during 2006-07 to 2010-11 at Sisal Research Station (22.041°N, 84.295°E, 267 m AMSL), Bamra, Odisha, India to study the effect of irrigation (drip), manure and fertilizers on the sucker production capacity in sisal (Agave sisalana Perr. Ex Engelm.). It was found that application of drip irrigation (with discharge rate of 4 l/hr for 2 hrs at 2 weeks interval during 1 April-15 June), manure (FYM @ 5t/ha) and fertilizers (N60P30K60 or N120P30K60 kg/ha) could produce 23.4-24.2 thousand suckers/ha in 4th crop year and 8.7-9.3 thousand suckers/ha in 5th crop year. A well-managed sisal plantation thus could produce 32.1-33.5 thousand suckers/ha in 2 years at the later phase of sisal plantation, which is sufficient to plant 7 ha new plantation. The quantum of sucker produced adds farmer’s income by about Rs.1,31,200/ha from disposal of the suckers as sisal planting material. |
