Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of fertigation with different levels of nutrient solutions and different irrigation regimes on water productivity (ratio of yield to water containing nutrients) in greenhouse lily cultivation. The experiment was conducted in two years at the University of Guilan. In the first year, the best treatment was determined among four different concentrations of nutrient solution according to Coic solution including S1, S2, S3, and S4. The results of mean comparison showed that S1 treatment (treatment with the highest concentration of nutrients) had a positive effect on most vegetative, reproductive, and postharvest characteristics of lily. In the second year, with appropriate nutrient solution and three different levels including S11, S12, and S13, different irrigation regimes according to field capacity percent (%FC) were considered. Four different irrigation regimes including 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100% FC were applied. The results of the second experiment showed that application of deficit irrigation treatments including 90%, 80%, and 70% of FC increased water productivity without any significant effects on the vegetative and reproductive characteristics. The results also showed that irrigation treatments had significant effects on traits such as vase life, which was increased by decreasing water consumption and increasing nutrient concentration. Regarding the vegetative characteristics of lily plants, the data showed that traits such as fresh and dry weights of roots, leaves, and flowers were positively affected by decreasing irrigation levels and increasing concentration of nutrient solution, while plant height and both number and weight of daughter bulbs were not affected by these treatments. The highest water productivity (nutrients solutions) was obtained in the S3 and 80% FC, being 21.57 kg/m3.
