“…Under different nutrient schedules, the available potassium was significantly higher in NPK150 (169.24 kg ha -1 ) as compared to NPK100 (143.36 kg ha -1 ) and NPK75 (133.90 kg ha -1 ) treatment. Similar results were reported by [21,22,23,24].…”

In Northwestern Himalayas, there is scarcity of water owing to rugged terrain which results in lower tomato yield. Therefore to enhance the productivity of tomato, the experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of drip irrigation and nutrient schedules on soil water dynamics and productivity of tomato under polyhouse. The treatments consisted of three drip irrigation levels viz., I1 (Daily drip irrigation 2.0 litre/m2 once in a day during first two months and 4.0 litre/m2 thereafter), I2 (Daily drip irrigation 1.0 litre/m2 once in a day during first two months and 2.0 litre/m2 thereafter) and I3 (Daily drip irrigation twice a day with 6 hours interval at 1.0 litre/m2) and three nutrient schedules viz., NPK75 (75% of RDF, 25% applied as basal and 75% through fertigation at 15 days interval), NPK100 (100% of RDF, 25% applied as basal and 75% through fertigation at 7 days interval) and NPK150 (150% of RDF, 25% applied as basal and 75% through fertigation twice a week). The results showed that the soil moisture content and soil water stock was higher under I3 and I1 and lower under I2 treatments. The marketable yield (6.31 kg m-2), water use efficiency (WUE) (1.94 g m-2 mm-1) and NPK uptake was significantly higher in I2 than I1 and I3. Among nutrient schedules, marketable yield (6.53 kg m-2), WUE (1.94 g m-2 mm-1) and NPK uptake were significantly higher under NPK150 nutrient schedule than NPK100 and NPK75. The net returns (Rs. 230) and benefit:cost (B:C) (4.62) ratio was highest under I2NPK150 followed by I1NPK150 and lowest under I3NPK75. The study concluded that I2 (Daily drip irrigation 1.0 litre/m2 once in a day during first two months and 2.0 litre/m2 thereafter) and NPK150 (150% of RDF, 25% applied as basal and 75% through fertigation twice a week) was most remunerative combination due to higher marketable yield and water use efficiency under polyhouse.

“…However, Suojala-Ahlfors et al (2005) reported that varying the soil moisture levels had little effect on the yield of processing cucumbers in cooler climates. In this study, drip irrigation with fertigation produced the highest yield and quality of processing cucumber in dry years, regardless of the position of the drip lines.…”

All irrigation methods enhanced yields, with drip irrigation coupled with fertigation showing significant advantages in terms of yield and economic returns compared with overhead irrigation and conventional fertilization practices. Irrigation increased dry matter accumulation, fruit yield and economic returns over non-irrigated treatments in a dry year, but only DI/F and SDI/F irrigation with fertigation increased these parameters in a wet year. Irrigation water use efficiency was greatest with SDI/F in 2 of 3 yr. This study indicates that processing cucumbers in Ontario benefit from irrigation, with drip irrigation/fertigation being more beneficial than overhead sprinkler irrigation. Subsurface drip irrigation systems increase irrigation water use efficiency over sprinkler and surface drip systems when higher than average temperatures coupled with lower than average rainfall are experienced on coarse-textured soils.

“…Nitrogen loss by leaching or denitrification is costly and has a negative effect on the environment (Pier and Doerge 1995;Rahn 2000;Choudhari and More 2002). The total nitrogen rates for once-over harvested pickling cucumber range from 60 to 67 kg ha -1 (Cantliffe 1977;O'Sullivan 1980) while 112 to 169 kg ha -1 are recommended for multiple-harvested pickling cucumber (McCollum and Miller 1971;Doss et al 1977;Forbes and White 1982;Anonymous 2003;Suojala-Ahlfors et al 2005), depending on soil type, weather conditions, cultural practices and crop vigour.…”

. 2007. Yield, quality and revenue of pickling cucumbers with irrigation and supplemental N fertilizer under a humid climate. Can. J. Plant Sci. 87: 571-580. A 5-yr field experiment was conducted in southern Quebec to investigate yield, gross revenue and quality of pickling cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L. 'Fancipak') in response to sprinkler irrigation. In addition, supplemental nitrogen treatments (40 kg ha -1 foliar and granular) following application of 80 kg ha -1 N preplant, as well as non-fertilized and over-fertilized controls (80 kg ha -1 N preplant, 40 kg ha -1 N granular and 60 kg ha -1 N slow-release) were compared in a 2-yr trial under irrigated and non-irrigated conditions. During 1997 to 2000, rainfall was close to or above normal and irrigation did not increase marketable yields. In 1999 and 2000, irrigation reduced early marketable yields relative to non-irrigated treatments. In 2000, a relatively cool year with average rainfall, there was a positive yield response to supplemental N in the non-irrigated plots, but not in the irrigated plots. In 2001, a very hot and dry season, irrigation increased early yield by 66%, marketable yield by 160% and gross revenue by 164% compared with non-irrigated treatments. Non-irrigated treatments did not respond to supplemental N, but supplementing the irrigated treatments with 40 kg ha -1 of N increased marketable yields by 22%, generating 18% additional revenues. Applying N in either a foliar or granular form gave similar results. Overall, under a humid climate, irrigation only had a positive impact on gross crop revenue for pickling cucumbers in 1 out of 5 yr. année caractérisée par une saison très chaude et très sèche, l'irrigation a accru le rendement de fruits hâtifs de 66 %, le rendement de fruits commercialisables de 160 % et les recettes brutes de 164 % comparativement aux résultats obtenus sur les parcelles non irriguées. La culture ne réagit pas au supplément de N en l'absence d'irrigation, mais quand elle est irriguée, un apport de 40 kg de N par hectare augmente le rendement de fruits commercialisables de 22 %, ce qui accroît les recettes de 18 %. L'engrais N donne des résultats analogues, qu'il soit sous forme granulaire ou d'application foliaire. Dans l'ensemble, en climat humide, l'irrigation n'agit positivement sur les recettes brutes issues de la culture du concombre à marinade qu'une année sur cinq.
