Abstract
In the Marwar tract of Rajasthan, sorghum hybrid CSH-1 given 1 irrigation at the seedling, knee-high, heading or milk-ripe stage in the wet yr of 1973 (rainfall 970 mm) gave grain yields of 4.11-4.48 t/ha, compared with 3.89-4.35 t with 2-5 irrigations and 3.05 t without irrigation. In the drought yr of 1974 (rainfall 125 mm), increasing the number of irrigations from 1 to 5 increased yields from 0.18 to 2.25 t/ha, compared with 0.18 t without irrigation; the seedling and milk-ripe stages were the critical ones for irrigation. In 1974, irrigated crops extracted water mainly from the top 0-15 and 15-30 cm soil layers, while the rain-fed crop extracted water from 45-cm soil depth
