Abstract
The present field experiment was conducted to study the effect of planting methods, mulches and drip irrigation scheduling on fennel during rabi season of 2020-21 and 2021-22 at the Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Agriculture University, Jodhpur. The field experiment was laid out in split plot design comprised of four levels of drip irrigation i.e. 1.0, 0.8, 0.6 and 0.4 PEF (Pan Evaporation Fraction) in main plot, two planting methods (direct sowing and transplanting) in sub plot and three mulches (no mulch, straw mulch and plastic mulch) in sub-sub plot. The study found that drip irrigation level significantly influenced the final plant population, dry matter accumulation, and seed yield per plant. The drip irrigation scheduled at 1.0 PEF recorded significantly higher plant population, dry matter accumulation and seed yield per plant. Among planting method, Direct sowing led to a higher plant population, while transplanting resulted in increased dry matter accumulation and seed yield per plant. Further, application of straw mulch also improves dry matter accumulation and seed yield per plant compared to no mulch and plastic mulch.
