Abstract:
Inadequate precipitation of scattering and unproductive rainwater managing producing severe limitations on fruit production in rainfed area. Diverse kinds of drip/trickle irrigation intervals and some antitranspirants are real approaches for refiningfarmingoutput and water feeding. Yet, the impacts of these drip/trickle irrigation intervals and some antitranspirants practices on root zone water supply and antitranspirants related with crop yield are not well agreed. The effectiveness of drip/trickle irrigation and some antitranspirants strategies with compared to that with 3 and 6 days drip/trickle irrigation intervals and antitranspirants (Kaolin 2%, Kaolin 4% and MgCO₃ 2%, MgCO₃ 4%) of Kinnow mandarin under rainfed condition. The drip/trickle irrigation and antitranspirants produced a significantly (p=0.05) maximum improve in fruit yield over control treatment. The 3 days drip/ trickle irrigation and antitranspirants showed highest fruit yield (5615.60 -5935.30 kg ha^-1), total sugar (8.04-8.07) Juice content (49.72-50.65%) and TSS (11.08-11.12⁰Brix). Usually, these results reveal that three days drip/trickle irrigation intervals with Kaolin (4%) might recommend the necessary water pressure on ‘Kinnow’ mandarin plants of rainfed condition of subtropical ecosystem informative their fruit yield and quality parameters in water infrequent condition.
