Abstract
The present study was carried out in an experimental field at horticulture research centre Patharchatta, department of horticulture, G. B. P. U. A & T Pantnagar Uttarakhand during the year 2017 and 2018, respectively. The experiment was conducted under randomized block design with 19 treatments and 4 replications in which irrigation and fertilizers were provided through drip system. There were different levels of drip irrigation (100, 80 and 60 per cent based on estimated irrigation water requirement) and fertigation (100, 80 and 60 percent of recommended dose fertilizer NPK) along with silver-black plastic mulch to standardize an appropriate level of irrigation as well as fertigation for proper growth and development of guava cv VNR Bihi in Tarai region. The results depicted that the treatment combination MDI2F1 i.e. mulch application with drip irrigation at 80 per cent level and fertigation at 100 per cent recommended dose of fertilizer (225: 165: 150g NPK) was most superior with maximum plant height, plant girth, T.S.S. and acidity during the year 2017 as well as 2018, respectively.
