Abstract
Efficient crop water management through improved irrigation practices have been the focus of investigations during the past two decades. Knowledge of optimum time to apply limited amounts of water according to consumptive use of crop (irrigation scheduling) to obtain maximum yield is essential. Efforts in this regard were made through field experiments during Rabi 1990 by scheduling irrigations based on moisture estimation with gypsum blocks on few farms and providing advisory services to the farmers to take appropriate decision when to apply irrigation to wheat after rice. The optimum yield obtained with two irrigations was 40 mounds/acre (scheduled fields) as against 39 mounds with 5-6 irrigations (control plots).
