An experiment was conducted for two years during rabi seasons of 2005-06 and 2006-07 to study
the effect of fertigation on yield parameters and economic benefits of Ashwagandha. The treatments
consist of three irrigation regimes (I1-Drip irrigation at 100% PE, I2- at 80% PE and I3-60% PE) and
three fertility levels(F1-100%, F2 – 75% and F - 50% of recommended dose of N,P,K) with a control
having surface irrigation and soil application of fertilizer @30-20-20 kg N, P2O5and K2O ha-1. The
experimental soil was acidic in reaction and sandy loam in texture. Irrigating the crop at 80% PE
with 100% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) produced the maximum root yield in comparison
to other treatment combinations. Drip irrigation produced more root (795 kg ha-1) and seed (78 kg
ha-1) yields. NPK uptake increased with an increase in the level of fertilizer. Application of irrigation
at 80 % PE helped to absorb maximum amount of 43.41 kg N, 7.57 kg P and 31.95 kg K. Actual soil
moisture content was comparatively higher in 100 % PE than 80% PE and 60%PE.
