Field experiment was conducted at Plasticulture Farm, CTAE, Udaipur, Rajasthan during Rabi season of 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 on sandy loam soil to study the moisture distribution pattern of sandy loam soil under the drip irrigated cabbage at various irrigation and fertigation levels. The experiments were laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with ten treatments which included three irrigation levels 100, 80 and 60% of evapotranspiration (ET) along with three fertigation levels, viz., 100, 75 and 50% of recommended dose of fertilizer and one control (Surface irrigation at 1.0 IW/CPE ratio + 100% RDF through farmer’s practice) and were replicated thrice. Observations revealed that highest yield (340.73 q ha-1) was recorded with the treatment combination of drip irrigation with 80 % ET and fertigation @ 75 % RDF. The crops treated with 80 per cent ET experienced that the moisture content was maintained near to field capacity at the ischolar_main zone of the crop. The vertical and radial spread of water in the soil increased with the amount of irrigation. In all the treatments, the soil moisture distribution along the vertical direction increased and laterally it was decreased.Keywords

In this study different physico-chemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), calcium (Ca+), magnesium (Mg+), sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), bicarbonate (HCO3), carbonate (CO3), chloride (Cl-) and sulphate (SO4) present in pre and post-monsoon samples of the study area were determined using standard methods. Spatio-temporal variations of water quality parameters in the study area were analysed by using GIS techniques. The water quality index was computed by adopting the method of Tiwari and Mishra (1985) and Sinha and Saxena (2006) to determine the suitability of the groundwater for drinking purpose. The results show that in the pre monsoon period the 22.40 per cent area has good quality water for drinking purpose. The 61.62 per cent area has poor quality and 15.98 per cent area has very poor quality groundwater for drinking purpose. The 40.30 per cent has good quality and 59.70 per cent area has poor quality ground water for drinking purpose in post monsoon. The good quality water mainly occurred in East and middle portion of catchment area.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted at Zonal Research Station, Darisai, East Singhbhum, Jharkhand during 2016-2017 to estimate the water requirement for increasing the productivity of okra. The experiments were laid out in Randomized Block Design with five treatments which included four level of drip irrigation viz., 100, 80, 60 and 40 per cent evapotranspiration (ET) and surface irrigation at 1.0 IW/CPE and were replicated thrice. The results revealed that higher yields (160.52 q ha-1) was recorded in treatment T1- Drip irrigation at 100 per cent ET with maximum plant height (102.6 cm) and number of branches plant-1 (2.08) and was significantly superior over rest treatment. The water use efficiency of 58.34 kg/ha/mm was recorded in drip irrigation at 40 per cent ET. The maximum benefit-cost ratio (1.40) was noted in T1- Drip irrigation at 100 per cent ET and minimum (0.61) in T4 - Drip irrigation at 40 per cent ET.Keywords
