Zero-tillage and conventional sowing practices of wheat were evaluated succeeding mungbean and sorghum under three moisture regimes viz., irrigation at CRI + IW/CPE of 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9 during two consecutive rabi seasons of 2003-2004 and 2004-05 at the Research Farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, on a sandy loam soil having basic infiltration rate of 4.2 mm/h, 20.5% and 7.2% moisture at -0.03 MPa and -1.5 MPa. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with three replications. During 2003-04, soil moisture depletion by wheat was relatively higher succeeding sorghum than mungbean, but the reverse trend was observed during 2004-05. Conventional till wheat resulted in comparatively higher soil moisture depletion during both the crop seasons. During 2003-04 crop season, the soil moisture depletion was higher with irrigation moisture regimes of CRI + IW/CPE=0.5 at all the stages as compared to the higher moisture regimes of irrigation at CRI + IW/CPE=0.9 and 0.7. However, varying moisture regimes did not influence the soil moisture depletion during the early and development stages markedly in second crop season. The ground water flux was substantially higher succeeding mungbean (123 mm) than sorghum (111 mm) for the various crop stages, except the early growing period during 2003-04. In 2004-05, it was significantly higher during sowing to spike initiation and milk to maturity stages. Zero tillage practice in wheat resulted in significantly higher ground water use than conventional tillage during milk to maturity stage as well as for the entire crop period. Higher moisture regimes of irrigation at CRI + IW/CPE=0.9 resulted in lower ground water use than CRI + IW/CPE=0.5 in 2003-04 during spike initiation to anthesis and milk to maturity stages. While in 2004-05, the difference was marked for milk to physiological stage and for the whole crop season. Not Available |
