| Description |
An experiment was conducted to study the influence of drip irrigation on yield and quality parameters of bush pepper grown in coconut garden. The treatments included were pot watering (Control) and six levels of drip irrigation 2,4,8,12,16 liters per plant from Oct-May and 16 liters (Oct-March). The highest average dry berry yield per plant for five year's was recorded in the treatment where 8 liters was provided by drip irrigation (196 g) followed by the treatment 16 liters from October to May (165 g) and the lowest yield was recorded in the treatment 2-litre drip (66 g). Among the different years studied, maximum yield was obtained during 4'h year. The benefit cost ratio was high for the treatment 81(2.0), followed by 16 1 October-May (1.7) and 12 liters (1.1). The drip irrigation provided at the rateof2litres, 4litres, 16litres from Oct-March and 10 liters pot watering recorded a benefit cost ratio of
