Abstract

A field experiment was carried out during the rainy season (kharif) of 2001 and 2002 to study the relative moisture utilization by maize (Zea mays L.) grown in a mixed or in a sole situation. The maize equivalent was higher in maize paired row (40180 cm) + 2 rows of mungbean (Phaseolus radiatus L.) than the sole maize crop. An increase in water-use efficiency (WUE) was observed in intercropping systems. The water-use efficiency was the highest (1 0.1 4 maize equivalent uselhalmm) in maize paried row (40180 cm) + 2 rows of mungbean. Growth, yield attributes and yield as well as maize equivalent were significantly improved with farmyard manure (FYM) + dust mulch + straw mulch treatment over no mulch. Among the moisture-conservation practices, higher WUE was recorded under FYM+dust mulch + straw mulch, closely followed by Kaolin + dust mulch + straw mulch.

8 of 15 groups shown: named compounds and organisms first, then groups whose results differ (checked claim by claim), then those with positive and negative results, then the smaller groups.

Claims are grouped by organism, treatment and what was measured or targeted. A paper counts as positive when any of its claims in the group is positive.
