 ABSTRACT

The experiment was carried out in factorial randomized block design comprised of three levels of irrigation i.e. 100, 90 and 80 per cent micro-irrigation of Evp and three levels of fertigation i.e. 100, 80 and 60 per cent RDF with nine treatment combination to study the effect of micro-irrigation and fertigation on yield and yield contributing characters in acid lime crop. It is evident from the data that, flowers borne on one meter shoot had shown statistical difference due to an irrigation and fertigation levels during both the years.  Fruit set and fruit retention data was non-significant due to the irrigation levels during both the years of experimentation. However, the higher fertigation level F1 produced significantly the maximum fruit set (47.37 and 48.26 %, respectively) and fruit retention (87.54 and 88.53% respectively) during the tested years. In case of pooled yield, significantly the maximum fruits (25.07 kg/plant)and which was followed by the treatment combinations I3F2 (24.26 kg/ plant), I2F1 (24.26 kg/plant) and I2F2 (23.65 kg/ plant) which were at par with each other.
