Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during October-17 to March-19 to study the effect of drip irrigation and fertigation on yield of garden pea (cv. DDR-23 and GDFP-1) and chickpea (cv. Birsa Channa 3).Two treatments namely conventional cultivation (without drip & fertigation) and drip irrigation with fertigation were considered for the study. The increase in yield for drip irrigated field peas over surface irrigated was 51.5% and 25.6% for variety DDR-23 and GDFP-1 respectively however, in case of chick pea the increase in yield was around 62% over conventional irrigated chick peas. The results showed that drip irrigation with fertigation positively impacts optimum supply of moisture, nutrients and biomass accumulation which leads to better growth and yield.
