Abstract
Performance of clitoria as uncommon legume forage plant under effects of two planting dates viz., May 20 (P1) and June 20 (P2), three water irrigation regimes viz., 100% (I100), 80% (I80) and 60% (I60) of allowable soil moisture depletion (ASMD) and three intra-ridge spacings viz., 10 cm (D10), 15 cm (D15) and 20 cm (D20) among hills corresponding to 140, 93.33 and 70 thousand plants fed.-1, respectively, and their interactions was studied in sandy loam soil at Demo experimental farm of the faculty of Agriculture, Fayoum University, Egypt, during 2015 and 2016 growing seasons (summer and fall). Planting date had a significant effect on all studied attributes e.g., growth, physio-biochemical, quality and yield of forage clitoria through the various cuttings except leaflet thickness and leaf chlorophyll content in the 2nd cutting also RGR and LAR in the 3rd cutting in both seasons and IWUE in the 1st season. Early planting date (May 20) gave the highest number of leaves per plant, LAI and leaves/stem ratio in the three cuttings, number of branches per plant and stem diameter in the 1st and 2nd cuttings and plant height, fresh weight per plant, dry weight per plant, MSI, AGR, fresh forage yield and dry forage yield in the 1st and 3rd cuttings in both seasons.
Water irrigation regimes significantly influenced all studied attributes throughout various cuttings. Fully irrigated plants I100 recorded the highest LAI in the 1st and 3rd cuttings also RWC and LAR in the 2nd and 3rd cuttings in both seasons and carbohydrate content in the 2nd and 3rd cuttings during the 1st season besides dry weight per plant and dry forage yield in all cuttings, MSI and fresh forage yield in the 2nd and 3rd cuttings and fresh weight per plant and AGR in the 1st and 3rd cuttings during the 2nd season. However, moderately irrigated plants I80 recorded the highest dry weight per plant, AGR and dry forage yield in the three cuttings, fresh forage yield in the 2nd and 3rd cuttings also fresh weight per plant and NAR in the 1st and 3rd cuttings during the 1st season as well carbohydrate content in the 2nd and 3rd cuttings during the 2nd season.
