An experiment was conducted during 2005-06 and 2006-07 winter seasons to study
the effect of drip irrigation regimes and fertility levels on physiological parameters,
growth and yield of ashwagandha (Withania somnifera L. Dunal). The treatments
consisted of three irrigation regimes (I1- drip irrigation at 100% pan evaporation (PE),
I2 at 80% PE and I3 at 60% PE) combined with three fertility levels (F1 -100%, F2 -
75% and F3 - 50% recommended dose of NPK) with an extra (control) treatment
having surface irrigation and soil application of fertilizers. The cultivation of
ashwagandha with application of drip irrigation at 80% of pan evaporation along with
application of full dose of fertilizers (100% RD through fertigation) resulted in significant
improvement in growth, physiological parameters (CGR, RGR, Chlorophyll content,
NAR and LAI), and root and seed yields.
