Abstract
In field trials in the kharif [summer monsoon] seasons of 1975 and '76, E. coracana was grown on a sandy clay loam as a late crop after cowpea or fallow and given 0, 25 or 50 kg N/ha and 0, 25 or 50 kg P2O5/ha. Application of 50 kg N + 50 kg P2O5/ha gave the highest grain yields in the 2 yr of 3.32 and 2.84 t/ha, resp. compared with 2.43 and 2.2 t/ha in the untreated control. Where E. coracana followed cowpea, yields were higher than after fallow without cowpea and if cowpea failed the fertilizers applied were utilized by the subsequent E. coracana crop. Consumptive use of water was not significantly affected by fertilizer treatments. Water-use efficiency was highest with application of 50 kg N + 50 kg P2O5/ha
