Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of irrigation regimes and nutrient levels on growth, yield, quality, economics and water use efficiency (WUE) of broad bean at College of Horticulture, Mandsaur during rabi 2015-16. Treatments included three irrigation regimes, viz. I₁ (IW/CPE=1.00), I₂ (IW/CPE=0.75), I₃ (IW/CPE=0.50) and three nutrient levels, viz. F₁ (15:40:30 kg NPK/ha), F₂ (30:60:45 kg NPK/ha) and F₃ (45:80:60 kg NPK/ha). These treatments were evaluated under split plot design with 6 replications. Results indicated that irrigation level I₁ (IW/CPE=1.00) recorded maximum plant height, number of tillers/plant, number of leaves/plant, leaf area/plant, most delayed 50% flowering and pod maturity, maximum length of pod, number of pod/plant, number of seeds/pod, weight of 10 pods, pod yield/plant, pod yield/hr and fibre content in pod. It was followed by I₂ (IW/CPE=0.75). Highest protein content was found under I₃ (IW/CPE=0.50). WUE decreased with higher irrigation regimes and was observed lowest with I₁ (IW/CPE=1.00). Among nutrient levels, F₃ (45:80:60 kg NPK/ha) registered maximum growth, phenological, yield attributes and yield as well as protein and fibre content. It has also recorded highest WUE. Interactive effect of irrigation regimes and nutrient levels showed highest growth and yield attributes as well as yield with I₁F₃. Highest WUE was recorded with I₃F₂ which was at par to I₃F₃. Maximum gross return (Rupees 154 770/ha), net return (Rupees 113 820/ha) and benefit:cost ratio (2.77) was obtained with application of I₁F₃.
