Description The present investigation entitled “Effect of trickle irrigation, fertigation and post harvest treatments on growth, yield, quality and shelf life of fig (Ficus carica L.) under chhattisgarh condition” was conducted at the Experimental Farm, Department of Horticulture, Indira Gandhi Agricultural University, Raipur (CG), during the year 2003-04 and 2004-05. In this experiment for Pre-harvest characters, the experiment was conducted in the setup of strip-split plot in CRD having variety and irrigation as strip factors while the fertigation as split factor at the cross-section of both the strip factors. The first factor includes two varieties (Banglore and Daultabad), second factor includes three irrigation levels (100% CWR through drip, 75% CWR through drip and 50% CWR through drip) and third factor comprised of three fertigation levels (100% R.D. through fertigation, 75% R.D. through fertigation, 50% R.D. through fertigation). The irrigation levels were confounded with block effect of the fields. The observations were recorded on two samples of plants corresponding to each combination of irrigation and variety. Whereas, for post-harvest characters, the split plot design was used with the packaging treatments (unwrapped fruits, wrapped fruits with a 12μm cling film and wrapped with a 15 fruit tray) in the main plot and post harvest storage days (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 days) in the sub plot. Main plot treatments were replicated six times. The best combination of variety, irrigation and fertigation, was taken for this study.Bangalore and Daulatabad variety were taken with the objective to see their performance for high yield, good quality, fruit growth and development, shelf life, water requirement, water use efficiency and higher net realization. 115
The interaction of cv. Daulatabad x 75% C.W.R. through drip x 75% R.D. through fertigation (V2I1F1) are individually as well as jointly effective on fig crop. The plants in respect of plant height, number of primary branches plant-1, number of secondary branches plant-1, number of leaves plant-1, plant spread, average weight of fruit, fruit volume, fruit diameter, fruit length, TSS, per cent acidity, reducing sugar, fruit dry matter percentage, quantum, leaf area, leaf dry matter percentage, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium percentage were markedly superior under cv. Daulatabad x 75% CWR through drip x 75% R.D. through fertigation (V2I1F1). Treatment cv. Daulatabad x 75% CWR through drip x 75% R.D. through fertigation (V2I1F1) was effective for fruit drop percentage and transpiration rate. Trickle irrigation with 75% CWR through drip x 75% R.D. through fertigation with cv. Daulatabad x wrapping of individual fruit with 12μm cling film were effective in increasing shelf life of fruit viz. fruit weight, fruit volume, length, width, reducing sugar, TSS, titrable acidity, and sensory characters like texture, taste, sweetness, and overall acceptability. Trickle irrigation with 75% CWR through drip x 75% R.D. through fertigation with cv. Daulatabad x wrapping of individual fruit with 12μm cling film were effective for minimizing physiological weight loss of fruit and rotting percentage of fruit. The highest marketable and economic yield was obtained with cv. Daulatabad x 75% C.W.R. through drip x 75% R.D. through fertigation. This combination gain highest net realization and greater benefit cost ratio.
