Effect of drip fertigation and polythene mulching on growth and productivity of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.), water, nutrient use efficiency and economic benefits
Assessment of drip fertigation and polythene mulching on coconut productivity. Drip fertigation and polythene mulching influenced the growth and yield attributes. Drip fertigation −100% RDF and polythene mulching registered 233% higher nut yield. Higher efficiency of water and nutrients achieved with the same treatment. Higher profitability and BCR ratio of 2.80 observed with drip fertigation.
