Description M.Sc. Dissertation
Palampur during Kharif 2014 to study the effect of FYM levels and mulch sources on
growth, productivity and water use of brinjal (Solanum melongena) at varying irrigation
depth. The soil of the experimental field was silty clay loam in texture; acidic in reaction;
medium in available nitrogen; high in available phosphorus and medium in available
potassium. Twelve treatment combinations consisting of two FYM levels (FYM
incorporation at the rate of 5 and 10 t ha-1), three mulch sources (organic mulch @ 10 t
ha-1, plastic mulch and no-mulch) and two irrigation levels (irrigation depth of 2 and 4
cm) were laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Preplanting
incorporation of FYM at the rate of 10 t ha-1 and plastic mulching followed by surface
irrigation of 4 cm depth at five day interval resulted in significant improvement in soil
moisture status, relative leaf water content, plant height, yield attributes and fruit yield of
brinjal compared to rest of the treatments. Application of FYM at the rate of 10 t ha-1 and
mulching through the use of plastic improved water use efficiency significantly compared
to application of FYM at the rate of 5 t ha-1 and no mulching, respectively. Application of
10 t ha-1 FYM and irrigation of 4 cm depth resulted in improvement in net return and B:
C ratio. Although higher gross returns were obtained with use of plastic mulch but net
returns and B: C ratios were higher in organic mulch.
