 Sub surface drip fertigation in sugarcane under SSI system of planting

 Sugarcane planting at 180 x 60 cm row and plant spacing as double side planting in 40 cm furrow width and irrigation at 100% PE with fertigation level of 125% RDF from 15 to 210 days after planting at weekly interval is found to be a promising technology to increase the productivity of sugarcane.

 Drip fertigation studies in Banana

In banana, irrigation at 100% PE once in 3 days and fertigation once in 6 days from 15 to 300 days after planting with 100% RDF (200:35:330 g NPK/plant) as 50% P and K   as basal and the remaining as water soluble fertilizer along with soil application of 25 Kg sulphur is found to be viable technology to get maximum yield in G9 banana.
