Field experiment was conducted during 2006-07 to 2017-18 (12 years) at Sisal Research
Station (22.041°N, 84.295°E, 267 m AMSL), Bamra, Odisha, India to study the effect of
manure (FYM), drip-irrigation and fertilizers on the number of sucker production in sisal
(Agave sisalana Perr. Ex Engelm.). It was found that application of manure (FYM @ 5
t/ha), drip-irrigation (with discharge rate of 4 l/hr for 2 hrs at 2 weeks interval during 1st
April-15th June), and fertilizers (N60P30K60 or N120P30K60 kg/ha) produced a total of 142.6 x
103 suckers/ha during 7th to 12th crop year. Production of number of suckers diminishes
gradually from 7th year to 12th year, after which the sisal crop completes its life cycle by
production of flowering stalk and eventual natural dying. The produced 142.6 x 103
number of suckers is sufficient for covering 28.5 ha new sisal plantation. The quantum of
suckers so produced adds farmers’ income by ₹ 5.7 lakh at present price rate of sisal
planting material (₹ 4,000 for 1000 suckers).
