Abstract

SummaryThe experiment was conducted using uniform 9 year-old plants of ber (Ziziphus mauritiana L.) ‘Mundia’ on loamy sand soil at the Horticultural Research Farm,Asalpur, Jobner, (Jaipur-Rajasthan), India.The experiment continued for 2 years from June to March 1995–96 and 1996–97. The experiment consisted of 24 treatment combinations of three water regimes, four mulches and two kaolin treatments. A split-plot design used the irrigation treatments on the main plots, with sub-plots of mulch and kaolin treatments, with four replications having two trees per unit. Increasing levels of water significantly increased growth and productivity. Among various mulches, black polythene (M1) resulted in maximum growth and productivity. In contrast, kaolin improved only the productivity. The treatment combination of I2 (15 cm depth of irrigation) + M1 (black polythene) + K1 (6% kaolin spray) gave the highest fruit yield (13.1 t ha–1).
