Optimum plant spacing and availability of suitable high yielding cultivars may help the farmers to achieve more returns per unit area by efficient absorption of nutrients and trapping of solar energy. The effect of growing different varieties at various spacing under south Gujarat condition is not tested. Keeping this in view, the present investigation was planned to study during Rabi, 2019-20 at Vegetable Research Farm, Regional Horticultural Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat, India. There were nine treatment combinations comprising three levels of plant spacings i.e. S1: 30 cm × 30 cm, S2: 45 cm × 30 cm and S3: 45 cm × 45 cm as well as three varieties i.e. V1: Pusa KTS 1, V2: Palam Samridhi and V3: Ganesh Broccoli in a Randomized Block Design (Factorial) with three replications. The results of the study inferred that, maximum values for growth, yield and quality parameters were observed at wider spacing of 45 cm × 45 cm while maximum yield was obtained from closer spacing of 30 cm × 30 cm. Among the all varieties Palam Samridhi performed best and recorded highest values for growth, yield and quality parameters. Variety Palam Samridhi at closer spacing of 30 cm × 30 cm found best for securing higher yield (13.86 t ha-1) and higher BCR (1.91) ratio of broccoli.

It is elusive and highly challenging to sustain the productivity of vegetable commodities under limited available natural resources and anticipated future climatic scenarios. Amongst available natural resources, water remains the most limiting factor. Present vegetable cultivation practices involve the utilization of excessive quantities of water, thereby leading to the wastage of precious water resources. Therefore, sustainable management of irrigation water is crucial for future vegetable cultivation, as most vegetable crops are vulnerable to water scarcity at different growth stages, which can result in yield and post-harvest quality losses. Adoption of deficit irrigation (DI) is one of the sustainable irrigation water management approaches. DI is a sustainable water-saving approach, as irrigation water is applied in limited or lower quantities than the actual evapotranspiration-based crop water requirement. Strategic application of water at the right time and quantity with the right technique can greatly improve water use efficiency and water productivity. It could also enhance the post-harvest quality with marginal yield loss. Yield losses whatsoever could be compensated by expanding agricultural areas in water-scarce zones by adopting the DI strategy. This review discusses the concept and types of DI and examines its implications for the morpho-physiology and productivity of commercially important vegetable crops.

As the world confronts mounting challenges to water security, efficient irrigation becomes ever more critical. Escalating water scarcity challenges necessitate innovative smart irrigation solutions. This study investigates the potential of integrating deficit irrigation (DI) with the CROPWAT 8.0 model for sustainable and water-productive irrigation. This research evaluated the model's accuracy in generating DI schedules at 70% field capacity (FC) (T1) compared to schedules derived from frequency domain reflectometry soil moisture sensors at 70% FC (T2). The results demonstrated economic viability and strong accuracy for T1 with consistently lower values of mean absolute error (3.6165 and 4.4447) and root mean square error (4.3987 and 5.5055) while compared to T2 across 2 years. In addition, T1 achieved significant water savings (43.47 and 45.16%) alongside higher water productivity (8.11 and 8.22 kg m−3), respectively, for both the years compared to full irrigation. These findings highlight CROPWAT 8.0 model–driven DI scheduling as a promising smart irrigation approach for tackling water scarcity, offering economic benefits to farmers while promoting water security.
