Description Maize is one of the three most important cereal crop
species (after wheat and rice), and is grown throughout
a wide range of climates. Maize is desired for its multiple environmental benefits of growing chickpea (Cice!'
a1'ietinu111 L.) have been increasingly recognized in
semiarid condition and inclusion of chickpea in cerealbased
cropping systems has shown to improve the
efficiency of nutrient (Walley et a1., 2007). WUE of maize
is a function of multiple factors, including physiological
characteristics of maize and chickpea, genotype, soil
characteristics such as soil water holding capacity,
meteorological conditions and agronomic practices.
Hence, to improve WUE, integrative measures should aim to optimize agronomic practices viz, efficient
irrigation methods and suitable landform management
and improved practice of fertilization.....
