Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)

This thesis investigates the influence of various irrigation levels, crop geometries, and mulches on the growth, yield, and quality of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) cultivated under a drip irrigation system.

• The effect of irrigation levels on fennel growth, yield, and quality
• The impact of different crop geometries on fennel performance
• The role of mulch in enhancing fennel growth, yield, and quality
• The economic viability of different irrigation and crop management strategies for fennel production
• Optimizing water and nutrient management for sustainable fennel production

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

The introduction provides a comprehensive overview of fennel, its cultivation, and the importance of efficient irrigation practices. The review of literature delves into previous research related to fennel production, irrigation methods, and the effects of different crop management practices on fennel growth, yield, and quality. The materials and methods chapter outlines the experimental design, treatments, and data collection techniques employed in the study. Results and discussion present the findings related to the effects of irrigation levels, crop geometry, and mulch on various growth, yield, and quality parameters of fennel. The economic analysis evaluates the cost-benefit analysis of different treatment combinations.
