Details of technology

1.       

Weed control in bitter gourd through Paddy straw mulching

 Use straw mulch in bitter gourd is done mainly to conserve residual soil moisture. Through the experiment it is observed that Water use efficiency   is 85%. It is also observed that the flowering stage initiated by 20 days earlier in comparison with control. More vegetative growth is also recorded in case of straw  mulching.  B:C ratio in case of  straw mulching it is 1:2.65  So, we can recommend the farmer to go for straw mulching as for them the previous crop of bitter gourd is rice, So they can use this straw for mulching purpose @ 5 t straw mulch/ha.
