Abstract


The figures for per day mean consumptive use of water for twelve varieties under the three crops, cotton, bajra and sorghum lay within a narrow range and did not vary appreciably among varieties or crops. The near constancy of the figures is striking in view of the high variability in the duration and yield of the varieties studied and enables one rapidly to calculate the consumptive use of water by simply multiplying the constant figure obtained above by the duration of the individual crop variety.
