An experiment was conducted on clay loam soil with different systems of irrigation and fertigation to study the effect on growth, yield and economics of brinjal cultivation. From the two years pooled data it was observed that drip irrigation with 125% RDSSF recorded significantly higher values of most of the growth attributes viz., plant height (cm) and spread of plant (cm) over remaining treatment combination of fertilizer with drip, micro-jet and control. However, micro-jet with 100% of RDSSF recorded significantly higher values of most of the yield attributing characters viz., average number of fruits per hill and weight of fruits per hill (kg) over remaining treatment combination of fertilizer with drip, micro-jet and control. Further, micro-jet + 100% RDSSF recorded higher fruit yield, gross income and net income. The higher cost: benefit ratio was recorded by micro-jet + RDCF treatment, while drip + 125% of RDSSF recorded highest water use effiency.
