Results of the study indicates that for different drip irrigation levels, the ascorbic acid content of chilli was found optimum with drip irrigation at 0.80 of crop evapotranspiration and fertigation with 80 per cent of RDF applied in eleven splits, with 20 per cent saving of irrigation water and fertilizer. Oleoresin content of chilli was not influenced by different drip irrigation levels, however, it was found to be optimum to fertigation with 80 per cent of RDF. The significant differences on dry matter yield and nutrient uptake were observed for different drip irrigation and fertigation levels. As drip irrigation levels between 80 to 100 per cent of crop evapotranspiration were found statistically at par with each other for dry matter yield and nutrient uptake by chilli, irrigation level of 80 per cent of crop evapotranspiration was found optimum among the all tested treatments. Whereas, for different levels of fertigation in eleven splits had significant effect on dry matter yield and nutrient uptake by chilli. Dry matter yield and nutrient uptake were found highest in F3 (fertigation with 100% of RDF) treatment. Further fertigation levels with100 per cent of RDF and 80 per cent of RDF was found statistically at par with each other for the dry matter yield and nutrient uptake. Therefore, fertigation with 80 per cent RDF in eleven splits was found optimum.","PeriodicalId":13738,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Chemical Studies","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87403973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The GCA estimates of lines and testers emphasized the importance of lines BPMR 145 and tester SML 832, BWUC 10.1.1.21.1 for their use as a desirable parents for enhancing the yield potential through assembling the favourable genes for yield and yield components.
