CONSUMPTIVE USE OF WATER IN FINGER MILLET AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH EVAPORATION FROM DIFFERENT EVAPORIMETERS

Abstract

Studies on irrigation of ragi indicated that simple and inexpensive 'can evaporimeter can be recommended for scheduling irrigation to finger millet. There was significant positive correlation between evapotranspiration of the crop and evaporation from can evaporimeter, USWB Class A pan and sunken screen pan. The evaporimeters also had similar association. Irrigation at 2 cm CCE throughout the crop period provided optimum moisture for obtaining highest yield of (4,475 kg/ha) of finger millet.
