“…These result are in agreement with the finding of Bindra ( 2012), Suman (2003) in apricot and Bussi et al, (1991) in peach and Klein et al, (1989).They observed that shoot extension growth and pruning weight were maximum under drip fertigation and maintained a positive correlation with the amount of fertilization.…”

The present investigation entitled "Performance of wild apricot under fertigation practices (Prunus armeniaca L.) in cold arid condition of Ladakh" was carried out at PFDC Farm Leh. The fertigation techniques of water and fertilizers application has provide its superiority, in fruit and vegetable crops, owing to precise and direct application of water in the root zone without wetting the entire area. Fertigation consequences with and without mulch in apricot, one of the most important temperate fruit crops of Ladakh region, have yet not been established. The present investigation was therefore, carried out to investigate the effect of fertigation on growth parameters of apricot. The higher increase in growth parameters under drip fertigation may be attributed to better water and nutrient utilization. The frequent application of water and nutrients might have met the plant requirement during the critical growth periods. On the other hand, under conventional soil fertilization, apricot plants might not have access to these nutrients due to lack of optimum soil moisture condition throughout the growing period beside higher nutrient losses. The result revealed that, effect of fertigation and irrigation level on annual shoot extension growth (ASEG) was significant. F 1 (Fertigation-100% RD) along with I 1 (30 minutes) registered significantly maximum increase in ASEG (46.92 cm and 45.45 cm). Maximum increase in plant height (2.02 m and 1.97 m) were observed under the same treatment, but it"s were observed to be statistically non-significant in treatment of irrigation level. Maximum (4.06 m and 3.83 m) canopy volume were observed under treatments F1 (Fertigation-100% RD) along with I 1 (30 minutes), respectively. Application of fertilizers through drip resulted in less fixation of the nutrients in soil and thus higher availability of nutrients and growths in the plant. The fertigation level should be accomplished with F 1 (Fertigation-100% RD) along with I 1 (30 minutes) to attain higher productivity of plant growth parameters in apricot. Also, it should be considered that an investigation of a longer length should be carried out to draw more conclusive results. So, plants should be tried for at least 3-5 years to bring some confirmation of the above brought results.

“…Fertigation is a noble approach that has gained importance nowadays due to availability of better quality water soluble fertilizers for commercial flower production in various greenhouse programmes. Subsequently, fertigation helps in uniform distribution besides better timings for more accurate and timely nutrition leading to better yield and quality and considerable savings in quantity of fertilizers to be used in comparison to conventional fertilizer applications (Bussi et al 1991, Raina 2002, Raina et al 2005. Plant response to foliar applied nutrients is a function of the amount of nutrients absorbed by the leaf tissues, the mobility of the nutrients within the plant and the phytotoxicity of the nutrients solution to the foliage.…”

“…Fertigation involves injecting fertilizers, especially N and K, into irrigation water. As an alternative to broadcast application of fertilizer, fertigation has been used in drip and microsprinkler irrigation systems for tree fruit (Bussi et al, 1991;Edwards et al, 1982;Strabbioli and Colorio, 1988). In some studies, fertilizer applied through the irrigation system was used more efficiently, and, therefore, less fertilizer was required than when broadcast on the soil surface (Edwards et al, 1982;Haynes, 1985).…”

Seven treatment combinations of irrigation and fertilizer were compared in a high-density (606 trees/ha) management system for peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch cv. Harrow Beauty/Bailey] on Fox sand in southwestern Ontario. Each treatment combination had an irrigation component (N = nonirrigated, D = drip irrigated, or M = microsprinkler irrigated) and a fertilizer placement component (B = banded fertilizer, L = low fertigation, or H = high fertigation). NB and DB are commonly used systems in Ontario, while the other five treatment combinations were experimental. Total soil water in the top 110 cm of soil was lowest under NB but was never at the permanent wilting point. Trunk cross-sectional area was largest under DH and DB, smallest under ML and NB, and intermediate for the other three treatment combinations. No symptoms of N or K deficiency or toxicity were noted for any of the fertilizer treatments. Leaf analyses in July and September indicated that most major and minor elements were in the adequate to slightly excess range. However, there were no significant treatment effects on leaf nutrient concentrations in July or September when averaged over the five years, except for Mg in July. There were large and significant year effects on leaf nutrient concentrations but no significant treatment × year interactions. During the first four cropping years, there were no significant treatment effects, averaged over years, for total yield, marketable yield, or cumulative yield efficiency; however, there were large year effects but no treatment × year interactions for these factors. There was no detectable yield advantage for D vs. M irrigation. B application of N and K promoted no higher yields than fertigation equivalent to the B rate or 50% of this rate. Fertigation of N and K during the first 4 years of this experiment did not provide a detectable yield advantage to warrant the added cost and labor associated with this system compared with the B applications of N and K.
