Effects of quantity and frequency of irrigation on growth and nutrient uptake in Acacia nilotica seedlings in Indian dry zone

One-year old seedlings of Acacia nilotica planted in 8 m 3 lysimeter were maintained by re-irrigating at 36.2 mm (I 1 ), 26.5 mm (I 2 ), 20.2 mm (I 3 ), 18.1 mm (I 4 ) and life saving (I 5 ) when the soil water content (SWC) decreased to 7.56%, 5.79%, 4.44%, 3.23% and wilting condition in respective...

Description
Summary:One-year old seedlings of Acacia nilotica planted in 8 m 3 lysimeter were maintained by re-irrigating at 36.2 mm (I 1 ), 26.5 mm (I 2 ), 20.2 mm (I 3 ), 18.1 mm (I 4 ) and life saving (I 5 ) when the soil water content (SWC) decreased to 7.56%, 5.79%, 4.44%, 3.23% and wilting condition in respective treatment with views to determine critical level of water use and productivity enhancement. Seedling height and collar diameter decreased (p
