A field experiment was conducted at Horticulture Research Centre, Pattherchatta to study the response of microirrigation and fertigation on yield and quality of litchi cv. Rose Scented. Thirteen treatment combinations involving microirrigation (Bubbler) and fertigation with or without microsprinkler including control (Surface irrigaton and conventional fertilizer application) were applied for study. Data were analyzed on growth, yield and quality which revealed that the tree height and canopy spread were recorded at their maximum under bubbler discharge at 1.0 V level along with 125% level of fertigation. Maximum fruit set, fruit retention, fruit weight, fruit volume, fruit yield, ascorbic acid content with the minimum fruit cracking were recorded under treatment bubbler discharge at 1.0 V level + microspinkler + 125% level of fertigation, while the maximum TSS was recorded under bubbler discharge at 0.75% level + microsprinkler + 125% level of fertigation. Titrable acidity was maximum under control.
