“…This result is in close agreement with the findings of Tiwari et al (1998) on okra and Paul et al (2013) on pepper plants. The beneficial effect of NPK characters advantage better water-use-efficiency through drip irrigation is attributed to the continuous supply of water in required quantity at right time without flooding to cause hypoxia.…”

RGANIC fertilizer regimes consisting of combinations of compost, liquid fertilizers and conventional fertilizer with or without biological amendments (Rhizosphere bacteria and vascular arbuscular mycorrhiza, VAM) were evaluated under three irrigation regimes (60, 80 and 100% of evapo-transpirantsio, ET) in two experiments with open field pepper grown in peat-based substrate. Therefore, field experiments were conducted at private farm, near Mansoura City, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt, during summer seasons of 2012 and 2013. The irrigation regime treatments were randomly distributed among the main plots, organic fertilizer treatments arranged among the sub plots, while biological amendment treatments were allocated as sub-sub plots.The combined interaction of irrigation at 80% of ET and conventional fertilizer with microbial soil amendments had significant effects on vegetative growth characters (dry weight) and chemical composition (N, P and K content) of sweet pepper plants. This treatment led to the significant increase in early and total yield of sweet pepper plants and the highest significant values of fruit quality (fruit flesh thickness, acidity, T.S.S. % and vitamin C). The combined interactions recommended doses of mineral fertilizers, irrigation regime and VAM with rhizosphere bacteria gave the highest significant increase in early and total yields. Organic fertilizer, irrigation water regimes and microbial inoculation, either separately or in different interactions had significant effects in in pepper's early yield, total yield, total number of fruits per plot, fruit flesh thickness and quality parameters.

“…On the other hand, the intensity of the operation requires that the soil water supply be kept at the optimal level to maximize returns to the farmer. High-frequency water management by drip irrigation minimizes soil as a storage reservoir for water, provides at least daily requirements of water to a portion of the root zone of each plant, and maintains a high soil metric potential in the rhizosphere to reduce plant water stress (Tiwari et al (1998) Singh and Rajput (2007) Al-Harbi et al (2008) Zotarelli et al (2009).…”

Field experiments were conducted on the growing seasons 2008 and 2009 at a private farm located at a newly reclaimed sandy area, El-Saff, Giza governorate, Egypt to evaluate the drip irrigation levels in combination with equal two types of organic fertilizers for an okra crop. The effect of three irrigation levels 1198.8 (I 1 ), 1798.2 (I 2 ) and 2397.6 (I 3 ) m3/acre with drip in conjunction with two organic fertilizers (composted plant residues and chicken manure at the rate of 6 m 3 / acre ) were studied on growth and yield response, using split block design. The results of drip irrigation in conjunction with two types of organic fertilizers were evaluated in terms of growth , yield, water use efficiency and nutrients uptake of the crop. The study indicated that irrigation water quantity 1798.2 (I 2 ) m3/acre met through drip irrigation along with the two types organic fertilizers gave the highest yield (3.3 M g/acre) with 104% increase in yield as compared to I 1 and I 3 . It can be seen that the plant growth and yield were greater in drip with chicken manure as compared to plant residues. The obtained results clear that NPK uptake were significantly affected by water levels and both plant residues and chicken manure. The additional more of irrigation water caused on increase in the uptake of N P K and if compared to the lowest level of irrigation water it increased the growth parameters in expense of okra yield.

A field study was conducted to explore the effect of various rates of organic matter, two water depths, with and without mulching on production of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) and leaf nutrient content. This study was done for two years, and the experimental design of randomized blocks in a factorial 5 ˟ 2 ˟ 2 was used, with four replications. The treatments were five rates of organic matter, necessary for raising the levels of organic matter in the pits to 1.8, 2.62, 3.44, 4.26 and 5.08%, two water depths (50 and 100%) of crop evapotranspiration, and soil with and without mulch. In general, it can be observed that the results in the two experimental periods are similar; foliar contents and fruit yield were higher in the plants irrigated with greater amount of water, and also increased with the application of organic matter to the soil. The results were not very different with and without soil mulch, since, with the growth of the plants, the canopies of the same shaded the soil avoiding the evaporation of the water.
