The study was carried out on drip irrigation regimes and mulching method on nutrients uptake of anola (Emblica officinalis Gaertn) Cv. NA-10. The nitrogen uptake was significant (2.52) analyses in 13 (IW/CPE=0.6) regime; while P, K and Mg was recorded significantly in 11 (IW/CPE=1.0). Mulching with paddy straw shows highest concentration of N, K, Ca and Mg in leaf while P content maximum was absorbed in black polythene mulch. Interaction of irrigation regime and mulching shows significant maximum N, K and Ca content in 13 M2, 12M2, and I1M2, combination, respectively.
