A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of mulching, drip irrigation and fertigation on growth, yield and quality of nerium (Nerium oleander L.) at Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Horticultural College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Periyakulam during 2016-2020. The experiment was laid out in a split split plot design consisting of three factors, viz., factor - I (M1- Black polythene mulch, M2-coir waste and M3-without mulch, factor - II (I1- 75 % WRc through drip irrigation, I2 - 100 % WRc through drip irrigation and I3 - 125 % WRc through drip irrigation) and factor - III (F1-75 % RDF through fertigation, F2-100 % RDF through fertigation, F3-125 % RDF through fertigation)with twenty seven treatment combinations. The results of the study indicated that M1I2F3 (black polythene mulch + 100 % WRc through drip irrigation + 125 % RDF through fertigation) recorded the highest plant height, number of primary branches, days taken to first inflorescence emergence and days to first flower opening and flower yield (kg) ha-1.
