In India, Marigold (Tagets erecta) is one of the most commonly grown floriculture crops. Its natural tendency of profuse flowering of short duration to produce market flower, wide spectrum of attractive colours, shape, and size with good keeping quality attracted the attention of people. It is extensively used on religious ceremonies, social functions as offering and also for decoration purpose all over the sub-continent. The estimated area on which flowers are grown in India is about 65,000 hectares. Major growing states are Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra. The present study is confined on an impact and response of different methods of irrigation e.g., Border, Check basin, Drip and Sprinkler with a four treatment and our replication along with randomized block design on growth and yield of marigold cultivation at Etawah District of Uttar Pradesh
