Effects of Growth Stage Based Deficit Irrigation on Maize (Zea mays L.) Growth Parameters at Koka, Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia
Author(s): Ayele Debebe*
Deficit irrigation is an optimization strategy in which irrigation is applied during drought-sensitive growth stages of a crop. Field experiment was carried out at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center Koka Research site, to investigate the effect of growth stage based deficit irrigation on maize growth parameters. One optimum irrigation and eight growth stage based deficit levels were imposed on maize (Zea mays L.) variety Melkassa II as a treatment and laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Results indicated that the different levels of growth stage based deficit levels had significant (p<0.01) effects on maize growth parameters. Growth parameters reduced with increased stress. Plant height, ear height, leaf length, leaf width, cob length, cob diameter and leaf area index were shortened from 193.5 cm to 161.9 cm, 92.3 c.. View more»
