The 2012 RUFORUM Biennial Conference is the third in the series. The main objective of the Biennial conferences is to provide a platform for agricultural research for development stakeholders in Africa and beyond to actively exchange findings and experiences, while at the same time learning lessons towards improving performance of the agricultural sector and ultimately people’s livelihoods. The biennial conference is RUFORUM’s most comprehensive meeting for the diversity of stakeholers in agriculture. It is especially dedicated to graduate students and their supervisors, grantees in RUFORUM member universities and alumni. It is a platform for peer review, quality control, mentorship, networking and shared learning. The third Biennial Conference was attended by 657 participants.This record contains an extended abstract accepted under Integrated Crop Management
Effect of Different Drip Irrigation Regimes on Growth, yield and Yield Components of Banana cv. Grand Nain Under Gizera Condition, Sudan
Abstract:
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different
water regimes applied by drip irrigation on growth and yield of
banana cv. Grand Nain in Gizera State. Five different irrigation
regimes were applied. These were 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%
and 120% of crop evapotranspiration (ETc) at a 2-day irrigation
interval. The experimental design was a randomised complete
block (RCBD) with 4 plants per plot. Banana growth
parameters increased with the increase in quantity of water
applied up to 100% of ETc. Bunch weight, total yield, number
of hands per bunch and numbers of fingers per bunch were
linearly related to the amount of water applied in the plant crop
and first ratoon. There were no significant differences in bunch
weight between 100% and 120% of ETc of mother plant and
first ratoon.
Cette étude a été menée pour étudier l’effet des différents
régimes d’eau, appliqués à l’irrigation par gouttes sur la
croissance et le rendement de la banane cv. Grand Nain dans
l’Etat de Gizera. Cinq différents régimes d’irrigation ont été
appliqués. Il s’agissait de 40%, 60%, 80%, 100% et 120% de
l’évapotranspiration des cultures (ETC) à un intervalle
d’irrigation de 2 jours. Le dispositif expérimental était un bloc
aléatoire complet (RCBD) avec 4 plantes par parcelle. Les
paramètres de croissance des bananes ont augmenté avec
l’augmentation de la quantité d’eau appliquée jusqu’à 100%
d’ETC. Le poids des régimes, le rendement total, le nombre de
mains par régime et les nombres de doigts par régime ont étéen relation linéaire avec la quantité d’eau appliquée dans la
culture des plantes et le premier rejet. Il n’y avait pas de
différences significatives dans le poids du régime entre 100%
et 120% d’ETC de la plante mère et du premier rejet.
