Abstract

A study was conducted to find out the effect of irrigation systems and frequencies on growth and yield of papaya cv. Pusa Delicious. Daily drip irrigation had given significant improvement in plant height, stem diameter and number of leaves per plant as compared to alternate day dripping, ring system of irrigation and control. However, the length of roots was more through alternate day dripping due to want of more water but the spread of feeding roots showed maximum with daily drip irrigation. Moreover, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight and fruit yield per plant were significantly highest with daily dripping.
