Abstract
Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. emend. Stuntz] like other rainy-season crops generally encounters moisture stress during its growing period, resulting in low yield. Collection of rain water in simple land lay-outs (Kaushik and Gautam 1991), use of various mulches and transpiration suppressants (Pandeyet et. 1988; Lal et al. 1992) and reduction of final plant stand in the wake of mid-season drought (Venkateswarlu 1983) increase the productivity and water-use efficiency of dryland crops. Hence an experiment was conducted to assess the perfonnance of various in-situ water-harvesting and moisture conservation practices and plant population on productivity and water-use efficiency of pearl millet.
