Other claims from this paper (19)
- Association Rainfall and its distribution is the strongest determinant of grain yield and water use of chickpea and lentil under rainfed conditions, and large inter-seasonal weather fluctuations produce larger fluctuations in water use.
- Association Seasonal evapotranspiration was significantly correlated with seasonal rainfall in chickpea and lentil.
- Intervention effect Supplemental irrigation significantly increased grain yield of chickpea and lentil, with less increase in the wet seasons than in the dry seasons.
- Recommendation Legumes such as these could replace fallow or break continuous cereal cropping in the region farming system.
- Observation Mean evapotranspiration over 12 seasons was 268 mm in chickpea.
- Observation Mean evapotranspiration over 12 seasons was 259 mm in lentil.
- Observation Average depth of extraction was 120 cm in chickpea.
- Observation Average depth of extraction was 80 cm in lentil.
- Observation Average extractable soil water was 125 mm in chickpea over 12 seasons.
- Observation Average extractable soil water was 90 mm in lentil over 12 seasons.
- Observation Lentil water-use efficiency for dry matter was 13.7 kg/ha.mm.
- Observation Lentil water-use efficiency for seed yield was 3.8 kg/ha.mm.
- Observation Chickpea water-use efficiency for dry matter was 8.7 kg/ha.mm.
- Observation Chickpea water-use efficiency for seed yield was 3.2 kg/ha.mm.
- Observation Estimated soil evaporation was 80 mm in lentil.
- Observation Average transpiration efficiency was 7.1 kg/ha.mm in lentil, lower than in cereals.
- Observation Average transpiration efficiency was 6.4 kg/ha.mm in chickpea, lower than in cereals.
- Observation Potential transpiration efficiency for seed yield was 11.8 kg/ha.mm in lentil, lower than in cereals.
- Observation Potential transpiration efficiency for seed yield was 12.2 kg/ha.mm in chickpea, lower than in cereals.
