Irrigation frequency, irrigation method, potato, water use efficiency, yieldAbstract
An experiment was conducted at CUTM, Odisha to evaluate the influence of different irrigation frequencies
and methods on performance of potato. The experiment was designed in strip plot design with 4 irrigation frequencies
and 3 irrigation methods together, replicated thrice. The significantly higher LAI at 60 DAP, haulm dry weight at 60 and
86 DAP, chlorophyll total at 60 and 75 DAP were recorded with 20 mm ETc than all other irrigation frequencies. In case
of irrigation methods, every furrow irrigation (EFI) showed significantly higher LAI at 60 DAP, dry weight of tubers at
86 DAP, arithmetic and geometric mean diameter of grade A tubers, chlorophyll total content at 60 and 75 DAP than all
others. The maximum tuber yield was recorded with 20 mm ETc which was statistically at par with 30 mm ETc. But highest
starch content was recorded under 30 mm ETc and it was significantly decreased at 20 mm ETc due to plenty of soil moisture
under this treatment. Starch content was also decreased significantly under EFI than AFI due to the same fact. The tuber
yield obtained under EFI was statistically at par with alternate furrow irrigation (AFI). According to the linear regression,
proportionate tuber yield increase will be higher with decrease in the irrigation water use efficiency. The treatment
combination, 20 mm ETc-EFI showed highest gross return, net return and B:C which could be recommended for the potato
growers in north-eastern ghats of Odisha. This was closely followed by the treatment combination, 30 mm ETc-EFI or 20
mm ETc-AFI and could also be adopted as a remunerative technique in the areas having water crisis.
