abstract:
Field experiments were conducted in 1996-1999 on brown acid soil of IVb class. The doses of irrigation applied were 60-110 mm for beet, 40-60 for onion, 80-120 for cabbage, and 80-110 for celery. Supplemental irrigation increased the yield of these vegetables, the extent of the increase depending on the species and on the weather conditions. The largest yield increases were obtained with watered red beet (by 42.5%). Slightly smaller increase of fresh matter of root celery was obtained – by 34.3%. The total and marketable yield of white cabbage increased, due to irrigation, by 18.4 and 17.2%, respectively. Onion reacted much less to supplemental irrigation; its yield increased only by 10.2%.
