Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Annual leaf production and leaf nutrient status of coconut were better in the irrigated treatments than in the rainfed control.
- Observation Drip irrigation at 66 per cent of open pan evaporation (27 L water per palm per day in December-January and 32 L in February-May) resulted in water saving in coconut.
- Intervention effect Nut yield of coconut under drip irrigation at 66 per cent of E0 was on par with drip irrigation at 100 and 133 per cent of E0 and basin irrigation at 100 per cent of E0.
- Intervention effect Nut yield of coconut under the irrigation treatments differed significantly from the rainfed control.
- Intervention effect Copra yield of coconut was 2087 to 2202 kg per ha under irrigated treatments, compared with 499 kg per ha under rainfed condition.
- Intervention effect Nut weight, husk weight and copra thickness of coconut were superior under irrigated treatments compared with the rainfed control.
- Intervention effect Irrigation together with mulching with coconut leaves resulted in significantly higher nut yields of coconut.
