“…This may be due to mulch induce high soil temperature, largely through stabilization by insulation and conserve soil moisture. Similar results were observed by Uwah and Iwo (2011) [14] ; Zerga et al (2017) [16] and Priya et al (2018) [10] . The combined effect of irrigation regime and organic mulch had significant effect on speed of emergence but nonsignificant effect on leaves per plant and plant height at harvest stage during both the years.…”

to study the effect of irrigation regime and mulching on growth, yield and yield attributing character of rabi maize (Zea mays L.) in tarai region. The treatments consisted of 3 level of irrigation regime viz., I1; 20% DASM, I2; 30% DASM and I3; 40% DASM in main plots and 4 level of organic mulches viz., M1; no mulch, M2; green gram straw mulch @ of 5 t ha -1 , M3; maize straw mulch @ of 5 t ha -1 and M4; lantana straw mulch @ of 5 t ha -1 in sub-plots. All the 12 treatment combinations were tested in split plot design with 3 replications. The results revealed that irrigation applied at 20% depletion of available soil moisture (I1) showed maximum value of leaves per plant (12.8 and 12.6), plant height (244.2 and 217.5 cm at harvest stage), 100-grain weight (30.5 and 28.8 g), early days of emergence (10.4 and 11.4 plant day -1 ) and days to 50% tasseling (114.6 and 116.6 days) whereas root length (263.4 and 258.5 cm), root length density (0.71 and 0.69 cm cm -3 ), root weight per plant (123.9 and 136.8 g) and grain yield (8503.5 and 7943.5 kg ha -1 ) of maize showed maximum values at 30% depletion of available soil moisture (I2) during 2016-17 and 2017-18, respectively. Among different mulches, green gram mulch @ of 5 t ha -1 (M2) recorded significantly highest value of growth parameters, yield and yield attributing characters of maize over other mulches and no mulch during 2016-17 and 2017-18. However, interaction of green gram straw @ of 5 t ha -1 (M2) as mulch with 30% depletion of available soil moisture (I2) showed best results over other treatment combinations.

Agriculture is a vital sector of India’s economy and plays a significant role in providing food security, employment, and contributing to the country’s overall development. Maize is a crucial crop within the agriculture sector in India. Maize cultivation contributes to crop diversification in Indian agriculture. It serves as an alternative crop option for farmers, reducing dependence on traditional crops like rice and wheat. Diversification helps in maintaining soil health through crop rotation. A field experiment was conducted at the Farm of College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Godhra, Gujarat during the year 2018-19, to study the influence of drip irrigation regimes with mulching on the physiological development and yield of the rabi maize (Zea mays L.) in the sandy loam soil of the region of Middle Gujarat. The field experiment design was a split-split plot with 36 treatment combinations with 3 replications including three irrigation regimes (1.0IW/CPE, 0.8IW/CPE and 0.6IW/CPE), four mulch conditions (control, paddy straw, black plastic and reflective silver plastic mulch), and three stages (tasselling, silking and dough stage). The result revealed that as the consumption of water increased, growth parameters, grain yield, and its attributes increased significantly at each higher level of irrigation regimes up to 1.0 IW/CPE with reflective silver plastic mulch under all the stages but 0.8 IW/CPE with black plastic mulch result was comparable to 1.0 IW/CPE with reflective silver plastic mulch. The reflective nature of silver mulch scatters light, ensuring better light distribution throughout the plant canopy. This can enhance photosynthesis and promote more uniform plant growth. Black plastic mulch absorbs and retains heat from sunlight, raising soil temperatures. This is advantageous in cooler climates or during the early growing season, as it promotes earlier germination, faster growth, and improved crop productivity.
