Description Drip irrigation on onion (Allium cepa) seed production under western condition of Maharashtra
An experiment was conducted at Directorate of Onion and Garlic Research, Rajguru Nagar, Pune, Maharshahtra during 2009-2012 to study the feasibility and economic viability of different levels and frequency of drip irrigation in comparison with flood irrigation on growth, yield and yield contributing characters of onion seed crop under western Maharashtra conditions. The experiment results revealed that, there was significant effect on growth, yield and yield contributing characters of onion seed crop as influenced by different methods and levels of irrigation practices. Among the different methods, levels and frequency of irrigation evaluated, drip irrigation at 100% PE daily improved the growth, yield and yield contributing parameters. With regards to yield, among the drip irrigation treatments and frequency, the higher seed yield was recorded at drip irrigation at 100 PE (582.6 kg/ha) in daily interval followed by drip irrigation at 100% PE daily (506.4 kg/ha) interval. Moreover, it was clearly indicated from the experiment results that the saving of irrigation water was to the tune of 37.5 % in drip system under best treatment as compared to surface irrigation, when it was scheduled at 50mm CPE with 7 cm depth.
