Abstract
Sorghum was grown at densities of 91 000, 136 000 or 272 000 plants/ha and was given 0, 60, 120 or 180 kg N/ha. The consumptive use of water was higher in cv. Swarna (338 mm) than in hybrid CSH-1 (315), but water-use efficiency was higher in hybrid CSH-1 (15 kg/mm) than in cv. Swarna (11). The values for consumptive use and water-use efficiency were highest on plots given fertilizer and with high stand density. The effects of N levels and plant populations on moisture depletion from various soil layers are described.
