Two field experiments were conducted with taro (C. esculenta) in Egypt during the two
successive summer seasons of 1997 and 1998 to study the effect of irrigation intervals, NPK
fertilizer levels and their interactions on vegetative growth characters and its chemical
composition. The irrigation intervals were 1/2, 1, 1 1/2 and 2 weeks and the NPK fertilizer
treatments were 0: 0: 0, 30: 16: 48, 60: 32: 72, 90: 48: 96 and 120: 64: 120 kg/feddan. The
irrigation interval of 1/2 week or NPK level of 120: 64: 120 kg/feddan each alone or their …
