An experiment on different soil moisture conservation practices were conducted to
assess its effect on soil moisture content, moisture use efficiency and plant growth characters of two
prominent lac hosts ber and kusum for four consecutive years (2005-2009) at the Research Farm of
Indian Institute of Natural Resins and Gums, Ranchi, falling under sub-humid ecosystem. Cover
crop in the form of black gram was one of the treatments under study and in this paper its superiority
over control (without conservation treatment) has been highlighted. Cover crop conserved
16.2% higher moisture over control during the post monsoon period (October-January) and 9.2%
during the pre monsoon period (February-May) on pooled basis. The moisture use efficiency under
cover crop and control was recorded to be 2.65 and 2.13 kg/ha/mm, respectively. The increase in
the stored soil moisture was followed by a corresponding increase in harvested biomass yield.
Cover crop increased the ber plant height, basal girth, crown spread by 6.8, 4.9, 5.5 % and 28.2, 10
and 33.3%, respectively for kusum during the period. The average grain yield, stalk and biomass
(stalks+ roots +leaves) obtained during the study period was 166.4, 863.3 and 1475.6 kg/ha, respectively.
