ABSTRACT
The experiment was conducted at R.V.S.K.V.V. college farm Gwalior during 2012 and 2013 to find out the growth, yield ,water use efficiency and moisture extraction pattern of pigeonpea as influenced by methods and scheduling of irrigation . Among methods and scheduling of irrigation ,crop irrigated at IW/CPE ratio 1.0 with drip irrigation method registered higher value of consumptive use of water , water use efficiency, growth and yield over the scheduling of irrigation at IW/CPE ratio 0.8,0.6 and 0.4. The soil moisture extracted from surface upper layer (0-40) was found maximum under drip irrigation with IW/CPE ratio 1.0.
Key words :
Growth & yield., Moisture extraction pattern, Irrigation management, Pigeonpea, Water use efficiency.
