(v) Dry weight of haulm/ plot (gm)
There was significant effect of irrigation regimes on the production of dry
weight of haulm/plot (Table 1). Significantly highest (865.0 gm) dry weight of
haulm was obtained from I4 among irrigated treatments while the lowest
(454.92gm) from non-irrigated treatment. The increased dry matter accumulation
in the haulm in irrigated treatment may be attributed to more synthesis and
translocation of photosynthates from the haulm and also due to availability of
more nutrients from the soil under different irrigation regimes.
