EFFECT OF METHODS AND INTERVALS OF IRRIGATION OF WATER REQUIREMENT AND WATER USE EFFICIENCY IN SESAMUM

Abstract

A study was conducted with sesamum cvs. TMV 3 AND Co 1 at Tanjore and Bhavanisagar respectively to find out suitable method and interval of irrigation to use water economically without affecting the yield. Irrigating in alternate furrows once in 20 days recorded the highest water use efficiency. High seed yield was recorded in alternate furrows irrigating once in 30 days. Hence, irrigating in alternate furrows once in 20 days may be considered as optimum for sesamum.
