Eggplant Solanum melongena L. water requirement and transplant age under drip irrigation in the Guarapiche River Valley.
Keywords:
drip irrigation, evapotranspiration, fruit quality, water use efficiency
Abstract
In order to investigate the fruit development response of the eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) cultivar Long purple to varying irrigation water management regimes and transplant ages, an experiment was set up in the San Vicente sector, Maturín Municipality, Monagas State, Venezuela, between the months of June-September 2015. An experimental design of randomized blocks with three repetitions was used, with an arrangement of divided plots, where the main plots were the different irrigation sheets and the subplots of the two transplant ages. Ten treatments were applied that resulted from the combination of the transplant ages, age 1 (30 days) and age 2 (40 days), and four irrigation criteria consisting of replacing the equivalent of 60 %, 80 %, 100 %, and 120 % of crop evapotranspiration (ETc). A type “A” evaporimeter tank was used to estimate the evapotranspiration of the eggplants. Differences in the number of fruits, length, diameter, and weight of the fruits were evaluated to determine the response of the transplants to the different irrigation treatments. It was observed that the irrigation sheet of 120 % and the transplant age of 40 days enhanced the quality of the eggplant fruits. The most affected variables were weight and number of fruits.
