Abstract
Pigeon pea cv. UPAS-120 and Parbhat were grown in the field either unirrigated or irrigated when cumulative pan evaporation was equal to 50% depletion of available water content at 1 m root zone depth. Diurnal changes in leaf water potential were measured at the fruiting stage of the crop. Leaf water potential decreased up to 1500 h but increased again during the evening. Adaxial stomatal conductance started to decline during the early morning but abaxial conductance increased up to 0900 h then decreased and increased again in the afternoon except on one occasion in irrigated UPAS-120 where conductance never increased at 0900 h. Abaxial conductance was higher in the irrigated treatment
