Productivity of rain water harvesting techniques on production efficiency, leaf area index and moisture use rate of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) under rainfed condition


Author(s): Amar Kant Verma and RP Singh

Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh during two Kharif seasons to assess the relative productivity and profitability of Pearlmillet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) as influenced by different low cost water harvesting techniques. The soil of the experimental field was sandy loam in texture with average fertility. Water harvesting techniques tested in the experiment were compartmental bunding, deep ploughing, raised and sunken bed, inter row water harvesting, inter-paired row water harvesting, scooping and flat sowing as control. The result revealed that different rain water harvesting techniques showed significant response over control in respect to yield, protein and starch. Among different water harvesting techniques, inter-paired row water harvesting (IPRWH) produced highest production efficiency of 23.56 and 21.90 q ha-1 fetching 4.67 and 4.78 Leaf Area Index (LAI) which exhibited maximum Moisture Use Rate (MUR) of 4.36 and 3.63 mm days-1 during these two seasons respectively.
