Abstract

                                Experiments were conducted at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore in summers of 1974 and 1975 to study the effect of irrigation at critical stages of growth in sorghum. In both the seasons, irrigation at 50 percent available moisture was found to give the highest yield but in areas of limited water supply irrigation at seedling. vegetative flowering and grain formation stages in addition to the sowing irrigation can be adopted without very much loss in yield. Skipping irrigation at the seedling stage affected esta blishment and growth of the crop.
