Abstract
In 1969 and 1971 at Hissar, pearl millet [P. americanum] cv. HB 3 was grown with water harvesting from plots 20 X 10 m with a 3% slope on either edge. At Bawal in 1972 and '73, pearl millet was also grown under 50% inter-row water-harvesting conditions, with or without mulching. Inter-row water harvesting increased soil m.c. throughout the profile and throughout the growing period. Grain yield/area sown increased by 22% over the traditional sowing methods with 50% water harvesting in micro-plots. Yield was not significantly affected by mulching. It was recommended that the efficiency of these methods is studied during yr of sub-opt. and erratic rainfall
