<#LINE#>Response of Cabbage (Brassica Oleracea) Under Variable Irrigation and Lateral Spacing<#LINE#>M.@Ignatius,M.@Imtiyaz,J.L.G.@Kumar<#LINE#>1-9<#LINE#>1.ISCA-RJEngS-2013-96.pdf<#LINE#>Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, SHIATS, Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, INDIA @ Faculty of Engineering and Technology, SHIATS, Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, INDIA @ Department of Soil Water Land Engineering and Management, SHIATS, Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, INDIA <#LINE#>1/8/2013<#LINE#>10/9/2013<#LINE#>  In order to evaluate the effect of irrigation levels (50, 75, 100, 125 and 150 % of pan evaporation replenishment) and lateral spacing (0.5 m and 1.0 m) on marketable yield, irrigation production efficiency and economic return of cabbage under drip irrigation system and semi arid climate, a field experiment was conducted at the Irrigation Research Farm of Allahabad, India. The study was carried out during the winter crop growing season of 2012-2013 (Nov. to March) on clay loam soil. The highest mean marketable yield of cabbage (84.14 t/ha) during crop growing season was recorded when irrigation was applied at 125 % of pan evaporation replenishment with laterals in every rows and 0.5 m lateral spacing (LS). A further increase in irrigation amount resulting from 150% of pan evaporation replenishment reduces the marketable yield significantly. Irrigation at 50% of pan evaporation replenishment gave the higher irrigation production efficiency of 38.33 kg/m3 with LS irrigation method. Minimum irrigation production efficiency was recorded with 150 % of pan evaporation replenishment (9.29 kg/m) with laterals in alternate rows and 0.5 m lateral spacing (LS) because it increases seasonal water applied considerably but decreases the marketable yield. Irrigation at 125 % of pan evaporation replenishment and 0.5 m lateral spacing (LS) resulted in higher gross return (705066 Rs/ha), net return (633496 Rs/ha) and benefit cost ratio (9.84). In spite of higher initial investment, irrigation level of 125 % of pan evaporation replenishment and LS drip irrigation method is highly profitable for cabbage production in the region..<#LINE#> @ @ Amer A.M., Evaluation of surface irrigation as a function of water infiltration in cultivated soils in the Nile Delta, Irrigation and Drainage Systems,25(4), 367-383 (2011) @No $ @ @ Ghamarnia H. and Gholamian M., The effect of saline shallow ground and surface water under deficit irrigation on (Carthamus tinctorius L.) in semi arid condition, Agric.

These problems were addressed in this study by the implementation of a number of lean approaches. This study is conducted in the fusing section of a garments manufacturing company. Study includes time studies between three approaches for preparation of fabrics for feeding and tries to come up with the most efficient approach of all. <#LINE#> @ @ Bheda R., Narag A.S. and Singla M.L., Apparel Manufacturing a Strategy for Productivity Improvement, Journal of Fashion Marketing and Management, 7(1), 12-22, MCB up limited, 2003.
