Consumptive Use of Water, Moisture Use Eficiency and Moisture Extraction Pattern in Cotton Intercropping

A field experimant constituting three plant rectangularities, three inter-props Dion 80 at Murathwada Agricultural University Research Farm, Parbhani The results balloo Indicated that the consumptive use of water was increased with Increase in plant rectangularities, Cotton + groundnut inter cropping system recorded significantly higher consumptive use than Cotton + green gram and Cattan black gram. The maximum moisture use efficiency 1. a. 39,6 and 41,9 kg/ha/cm was recorded by 3.12 plant rectangularity and cotton + green gram inter-cropping system respectively. The moisture extraction pattern was not influenced by the plant rectangulartias, intercrops and Offertilizer levels at all the layers except at high plant rectangularities mare moisture She was utilized from daapar layer i, e, 60-90 om coil depth. Consumptive use of water moisture use efficiency and moisture extraction pattern were not Influenced by ferti izer Invels. T viavit
