Title : Effect of Irrigation Water Levels on plant Growth and Spike Quality of Asiatic Lily cv. Indian Diamond

Abstract :

The demand of cut flowers was increased day by day. Asiatic lily has great potential to fulfill the demand of consumers worldwide. For completion of cut flower demand we have to need determine the optimum amount of irrigation water for better plant growth and spike quality of Asiatic lily. In this study, three different amounts of irrigation water i.e. 1.0V, 0.8V, and 0.6V was applied through drip irrigation system based on daily Pan Evaporation and Control. In control the irrigation was applied at temporary wilting point through traditional irrigation method. The results revealed that the plant growth and spike quality was found superior with the irrigation amount 1.0V (i.e.100 percent amount of irrigation water applied through drip irrigation method) followed by 0.8V (i.e.80 percent amount of irrigation water applied through drip irrigation method) as compared 0.6V (i.e. 60 percent amount of irrigation water applied through drip irrigation method). However, the inferior quality of spike was observed in 0.6V of irrigation water applied through drip irrigation method and traditional irrigation method (i.e. Flood irrigation method).
