The growth and yield of the plant Azivash (Corchorus Olitorious L.) in various densities and irrigation regimes

Abstract

The Azivash plant was cultivated at densities of 20, 27, 40 and 80 m-2 and three irrigation intervals of 6, 12 and 18 days with three replications using a randomized complete block design. Cultivation was considered in a row and row spacing of 25 cm was used. Plant spacing on the row was respectively 5, 10, 15 and 20 cm. At harvesting time when the plant height was about 50 cm, the components of plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant (number), new plant amount of yield (kg ha-1), number of branches per plant (number), leaf area index (leaf area), fresh weight of leaves and stems (kg ha-1), dry weight of leaves and stems, and total dry matter per hectare (kg ha-1) were determined. The results showed that both components of the irrigation and plant density have a significant impact on the level of yield and yield components both in the new harvest and after drying. And to achieve maximum performance, it should be used a density of 80 m-2 and irrigation period of 6 days.
