Flood irrigation causes significant water loss due to run off, seepage, evaporation etc. On the other hand, micro-irrigation technique provides a reduction in water consumption by 30-70% with simultaneous augmentation in yield. A suitable drip irrigation level may ensure proper growth and development of trees for obtaining higher marketable yields. The present experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different drip irrigation levels in combination with mulching on fruiting, yield and quality attributes of litchi (cv. Rose Scented) under high density. During the study, litchi plants were subjected to three levels of drip irrigation i.e. 100 %, 75 % and 50 % of estimated irrigation water requirement, with and without mulching. Among the different treatment combinations, the treatment MDI3 i.e. application of drip irrigation at 100 % level in tandem with mulching was found most superior over other treatments as well as control.
