| Our objective was to examine the effect of plastic mulching, three soil matric potentials (SMP) treatments {I1(-20 kPa), I2(-40 kPa), and I3(-60 kPa)} and three fertigation levels {F1(100%), F2(80%), and F3(60%) recommended dose of fertilizer} under drip irrigation conditions for nutrient uptake, growth parameters and yield in guava plants. The experiments were set up in factorial randomized block design with eighteen treatment combinations. The experiments were conducted during the year 2012-13. The investigation indicated that the plant canopy spread in (N/S and E/W) directions was greatly affected by different treatments. However, non-significant effects of interaction parameters were found on plant height, crop volume and plant girth. The... |
