Proper management of irrigation water and fertilizers is important for crop production. Drip irrigation method is known to have better water use as well as fertilizer use efficiency as compared to other methods of irrigation, particularly if poor quality water is to be used. This study was conducted to examine the effect of quality of irrigation water and level of fertigation on nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and water use efficiency (WUE) on drip irrigated tomato crop. Experiments were conducted in micro plots (2 m x 2 m size) at Research farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana (India). Irrigation for good quality (EC ≤ 0.5 dS m-1) and marginal quality (EC = 2.5 dS m-1) water was scheduled on alternate day with combination of three fertigation levels (N1: 75 kg N/ha, N2: 100 kg N/ha and N3: 125 kg N/ha). The volume of irrigation water applied per plant during an irrigation event was calculated based on crop spacing, pan evaporation, crop co-efficient and per cent shaded area. A total of 948.4 litre of water was applied to each micro plot during the entire crop period.FYM @ 8 kg per plot, 1/3rd of nitrogen, 100% of P and K was applied before transplanting the tomato. Remaining dose of nitrogen was equally split in 11 doses at weekly interval. Maximum tomato yield (61.53 t/ha) and water use efficiency (26.0 kg/m3) was obtained with good quality irrigation treatment receiving N-fertigation at the rate of 125 % of RDN. Maximum nitrogen use efficiency (594.9 kg/kg) was obtained with good quality irrigation treatment receiving N-fertigation at RDN. Minimum tomato yield (34.68 t/ha) and water use efficiency (14.3 kg/m3) was obtained with marginal quality irrigation treatment receiving N-fertigation at the rate of 75 % of RDN. Maximum nitrogen use efficiency (594.9 kg/kg) was obtained with good quality irrigation treatment receiving N-fertigation at RDN. Minimum nitrogen use efficiency (404.3 kg/kg) was obtained with marginal quality irrigation treatment receiving N-fertigation at 125 % of RDN.Keywords

The energy is the primary source of livelihood all over the world. The significant resources of energy were found to be wood, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), diesel/petrol and electricity in Pusa as well as in Kalyanpur block. Wood was found with a higher per cent of yearly energy availability in the study area. Energy availability per capita was higher in Kalyanpur block as compared to Pusa block. More than 50% consumption of energy takes place in cooking and heating both blocks of the study area.Total energy consumed (MJ) varied from 15974.10 to 21137.40 and 20763.60 to 30711.90 in Pusa and Kalyanpur block, respectively. The total energy consumption / Energy consumed per ha (118832.60/21782.40 MJ) was higher in Kalyanpur block as compared to Pusa block,The significant proportion of energy consumed in seedbed preparation (about 50%). In Pusa block and Kalyanpur block, major proportion of energy was consumed in seedbed preparation was 50.20% and 48.21% followed by 25.61% and 21.00% for threshing, 21.64% and 27.82% was for irrigation, 1.15% and 0.99% for harvesting, 0.92% and 0.80% for showing and transplanting and 0.45% and 1.15% for intercultural operation, respectively. This paper aims to analyse present energy utilization resources in the selected area and to evaluate energy utilization pattern in the selected area.Keywords
