Abstract
In pot trials, maize and jowar [sorghum] grown in black soil were irrigated with 1.8 l water/pot day (corresponding to 20% of water-holding capacity of soil) continuously for 1, 2, 5, 10 or 15 days and with a gap of 3 days these irrigation cycles were repeated throughout the growth period of sorghum and for up to 5 months after sowing cotton or they were irrigated with the same amount of water for 1 day followed by a gap of 6 days. A 2-day irrigation cycle for cotton and 1-day irrigation cycle with a gap of 3 days for sorghum gave the highest seed-cotton/grain yields and K uptake. At all irrigation regimes yields were higher in local cotton cv. L-147 than in the improved cv. MCU-5 and in the improved sorghum cv. CSH-1 than in local cv. NJ-164
