ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2010-2011 at the College Farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari. The results revealed that higher values of all the growth and yield attributing characters ultimately resulting in the highest seed (1498.06 kg ha-1) and stalk (4405.98 kg ha-1) yield as well as protein yield and economics under treatment of pigeon pea sowing by cv. GT 102 at 60X20 cm row spacing and irrigating at 0.50 IW/CPE ratio. The consumptive use of water (CU) increased with increasing irrigation level, reaching as high as 232.40 mm under 0.50 IW/CPE ratio. Water use efficiency (WUE) on the other hand decreased with increasing irrigation.
