“…Higher frequency irrigation created favorable soil water environment for crop growth and resulted in higher yield. It may be stated that the yield increased as a result of keeping the soil water content at required level similar results observed in Tsirogiannis et al, (2010) in gerbera, Kazaz et al, (2010), Aydinsakir et al, (2011) in carnation. Fertigation of higher dose of nutrients which resulted in proper development of photosynthetic system due to which, higher accumulation of dry matter and development of reproductive system occur.…”

The experiment was conducted with three levels of Irrigation treatments viz., 1.0, 0.8 and 0.6 ER and six levels of fertigation and mulching treatments viz., fertigation of water soluble fertilizers (WSF) @ 100% recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) with mulching, fertigation of WSF @ 75% RDF with mulching, fertigation of WSF @ 100% RDF without mulching, fertigation of WSF @ 100% RDF without mulching, soil application of normal fertilizers @ 100% RDF with mulching and soil application of normal fertilizers @ 100% RDF without mulching. Among irrigation treatments, 1.0 Evaporation Replenishment (ER) recorded highest values for parameters like plant height (47.98 cm), primary branches (7.73), plant spread (81.17 cm),dry matter production (58.87 g), days to flower bud initiation (34.05 days), duration of flowering (77.74 days), flower diameter (5.57 cm), shelf life (3.56 days), individual flower weight (10.47 g), Flower yield per plant (748.54 g), Flower yield per plot (44.64 kg) and Flower yield per hectare (13.40 tn). 0.8 Evaporation Replenishment (ER) recorded highest values in case of days to 50 % flowering (60.10), Number of flowers per plant (84.83). Among fertigation and mulching treatments, Fertigation with water soluble fertilizers @ 100% RDF and polyethylene mulching recorded highest values for parameters like plant height (51.10 cm), primary branches (8.05), plant spread (89.54 cm), stem girth (10.07 cm), dry matter production (66.21 g), days to flower bud initiation (35.05 days), duration of flowering (77.73 days), flower diameter (5.75 cm), shelf life (4.08 days), Number of flowers per plant (88.08), individual flower weight (11.04 g), flower yield per plant (770.25 g), flower yield per plot (46.72 kg) and Flower yield per hectare (14.01 tn). Among interactions 1.0ER+ Fertigation with water soluble fertilizers @100% RDF and polyethylene mulching recorded highest values for growth, flowering and yield parameters.

“…Maximum Plant height 42cm and 41cm, shoot fresh (18.40 g and 27.88 g) and dry weight (4.04 g and 4.86 g) were produced in plant calendula and dianthus plants respectively at daily irrigated plants followed by plant irrigated two days of interval. [29] also reported increase in fresh weight of canation plants with daily irrigation. Higher irrigation intervals (6 days) adversely effected the shoot length, shoot fresh and dry weight as water stress for long intervals reduces cell size due to decrease in turgor pressure in the cells that lowers the CO2 concentration and ultimately causes stomatal closure and decrease in photosynthesis [30,31].…”

Irrigation is one of the major factors to control the growth of annual flowers. Optimization of plant water requirement is important in the current scenario of climate change under limited water availability. Present research was conducted to determine the effect of irrigation intervals on vegetative, reproductive and physiological growth of two annuals, Calendula officinalis L. and Dianthus barbatus L. The seedlings of both annuals were grown in pots containing garden soil as growing media. At first, seedlings were grown for 15 days under regular irrigations. Then four irrigation intervals (T1; daily, T2; 2 days interval, T3; 4 days interval, T4; 6 days interval) were applied. At four days of irrigation intervals, calendula produced maximum plant height (42 cm), stem diameter (5.63 mm), shoot fresh weight (18.40 g), shoot dry weight (4.04 g), root dry weight (1.52 g), root length (21 cm), no. of flower buds (15.67), no. of opened flowers (12.67), flower diameter (35 mm), total antioxidants (79.45) and total phenolic contents (314.58 mg/100g GAE). Dianthus also produced maximum plant height (41 cm), stem diameter (5.85 mm), shoot fresh weight (27.88 g), shoot dry weight (4.86 g), root dry weight (2.76 g), root length (25 cm), no. of flower buds (11.33), no. of opened flowers (6.67), flower diameter (34.90 mm), total antioxidants (86.08) and total phenolic contents (331.87) at four days of irrigation intervals. But increasing irrigation interval from 4 days to 6 days significantly decreased the vegetative and reproductive growth of both the annuals. Hence, it is concluded that irrigation interval after seedling establishment improved the vegetative, reproductive and physiological growth of annual flowers.

“…For example, Chylinski et al (2007) noticed that in impatiens (Impatiens walleriana) grown at 30% of soil water content, plant height was reduced by drought as compared to those grown at 80% of soil water content. Kazaz et al (2010) determined the effects of different watering amounts (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00 and 1.25 crop-pan coefficients) on carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus cv. Turbo) grown in soil under greenhouse conditions.…”

“…Using higher amounts of water was beneficial to some plants as reported by Kafi et al (2010) on Kochia scoparia cvs. Sabzevar and Borujerd, Kazaz et al (2010) on carnation plants (Dianthus caryophyllus cv. Turbo) and Singh (2011) on Eucalyptus camaldulensis plants.…”

This study was carried out in the nursery of the Ornamental Plants and Landscape Gardening Res. Dept., Hort. Res. Inst., A.R.C., Giza, Egypt during 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 seasons to find out the response of Acalypha wilkesiana grown in different potting mixtures to different irrigation regimes. Five types of equal proportions potting mixtures (v:v) i.e. sand + peat moss (Mix. 1), sand + perlite (Mix. 2), sand + vermiculite (Mix. 3), sand + peat moss + perlite (Mix. 4) and sand + peat moss + vermiculite (Mix. 5), and 4 levels of irrigation water at 25, 50, 75 and 100% of pot water capacity, and their interaction, were applied in this study. Vegetative and root parameters as well as the leaves content of total chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanin and the percentages of total carbohydrate, N, P and K were recorded. The obtained results showed that there was a great influence of the different potting mixtures particularly those containing peat moss on A. wilkesiana growth e.g. Mix. 5 resulted in the highest records of plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, leaf area, stem fresh weight, root dry weight and N% in the leaves. On the other hand, irrigation at 25% pot water capacity resulted in the lowest values of almost all studied characters, while, watering at 75% pot water capacity gave rise to the highest plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, leaf area, root length, stem fresh weight, dry weight of leaves, stem and root dry weights, total carbohydrate %, anthocyanin content and percentages of N, P and K. Regarding the interaction treatments, all potting mixtures recorded the highest values in most cases when combined with irrigation regime at 100 or 75% pot water capacity. From the above results and to obtain high quality Acalypha wilkesiana shrubs with reducing the amount of irrigation water by 25%, it is recommended to use the Mix. 5 (sand + peat moss + vermiculite) + irrigation at 75% pot water capacity.
