An experiment was conducted during 2002-06 to evaluate the rainwater
conservation efficiency of major kharif crops viz. maize, castor, castor+green
gram, sesame, cluster bean groundnut and Dicanthium annualtum (grass) on
standard size runoff plots. The study revealed that maximum rainwater
conservation efficiency was under grass (92 %) followed by field crops (66-76
%). Among the annual crops groundnut recorded the highest rainwater
conservation efficiency (76 %), which was 42%higher than that under cultivated
fallow plot. In comparison to cultivated fallow, the lowest relative water
conservation efficiency was recorded under castor followed by maize. The highest
crop productivity per unit water conserved was recorded under castor + green
gram (4.4 kg GEY ha-mm ). The results of the study suggested that crop covers
such as green gram, cluster bean, sesame and groundnut proved effective and pro farmers
in conserving the rain water and soil resource.
