An experiment to know the effect of fertigation on growth, yield and quality of Okra.Var. COBhH 1 was carried out during the year 2011 to 2013 at the Department of Vegetable Crops, Horticultural College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agricultural
Drip irrigation provides an efficient method of fertilizer delivery and allows precise timing and uniform distribution of applied nutrients. Fertilizer application through drip irrigation fertigation can reduce fertilizer usage and minimize ground wa

In India also, also, there t here is a subs substt antial anti al improvem impr ovement ent in drip dr ip area espec especiall ially y in vegetables vegetables and fruit segments, but concern is that, still the farmers are not adopting fertigation system.

Seedlings of Cabbage were planted in main field on 13 th September 2011. The variety used was Unnathi. The number of seedling used per acre was 22000 wit h the spacing of 1 X 1.5 ft.

Periodic observations were noted on vegetative and yield attributes.
Results and Discussion: The fertigated plants were very dark green in colour, uniform in size and robust in their growth compared to control plants. But not much difference with respect to disease incidence.
Test Weight of Cabbage Heads (kgs): Head Weight P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 P7 P8 P9 P10 Total Average Wt
The Cabbage heads test weight was significantly higher, 26% more in fertigated plot compared control plot. This clearly indicates that, there was a better head filling due to improved used efficiency of nutrients in case of fertigated plot.

The treated plot has shown significant improvement in the yield ie- 30% increase over control plot. The yield got in both the plots is less than the average yield of 20 MTs/ acre. The drop in yield is due to continuous rains and cloudy weather during the month of October 2011.
