“…The 6-8 kg/mm/ha ETa y values reported in our study for Crystal are comparable to the values reported for 11 erect type grain legume species (4-8 kg/mm/ha) (Siddique et al, 2001), but higher than those reported for old mungbean varieties Berken and CES-ID-21 in humid tropics (2-5 kg/mm/ha) (Muchow, 1985;Pannu and Singh, 1993), and variety Berken in subtropics (Lawn, 1983). The differences in ETa y values between the current and the earlier studies could be due to a range of reasons including seasonal differences in Fig.…”

“…Similar results were observed in chickpea (Vadez et al, 2014) and peanut (Ratnakumar et al, 2009), where high yield was related to combined intermittent stress and adequate water availability during the grain-filling period. Earlier studies showed that the response to irrigation in peanut (Nageswara Rao et al, 1988) and mungbean (Pannu and Singh, 1993;Thomas et al, 2004;Raza et al, 2012) was influenced by the timing and intensity of water deficits. It was also possible that the intermittent and mild water deficits in narrow rows could have contributed to an increase in instantaneous transpiration use efficiency at the leaf level (Sengupta et al, 2011).…”

“…Deeper roots (Pannu and Singh, 1993;Sadras et al, 1989) and higher transpiration-use efficiency at leaf level due to intermittent and mild water deficits (Sengupta et al, 2011) might also have contributed to increased water uptake and crop water use efficiency in narrow rows. Higher T in narrow rows could be a key driver underpinning the canopy growth and development and that in turn, could have led to higher dry matter production in narrow rows.…”

a b s t r a c tIn this study, we investigated the extent and physiological bases of yield variation due to row spacing and plant density configuration in the mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] variety "Crystal" grown in different subtropical environments. Field trials were conducted in six production environments; one rain-fed and one irrigated trial each at Biloela and Emerald, and one rain-fed trial each at Hermitage and Kingaroy sites in Queensland, Australia. In each trial, six combinations of spatial arrangement of plants, achieved through two inter-row spacings of 1 m or 0.9 m (wide row), 0.5 m or 0.3 m (narrow row), with three plant densities, 20, 30 and 40 plants/m 2 , were compared. The narrow row spacing resulted in 22% higher shoot dry matter and 14% more yield compared to the wide rows. The yield advantage of narrow rows ranged from 10% to 36% in the two irrigated and three rain-fed trials. However, yield loss of up to 10% was also recorded from narrow rows at Emerald where the crop suffered severe drought. Neither the effects of plant density, nor the interaction between plant density and row spacing, however, were significant in any trial. The yield advantage of narrow rows was related to 22% more intercepted radiation. In addition, simulations by the Agricultural Production Systems Simulator model, using sitespecific agronomy, soil and weather information, suggested that narrow rows had proportionately greater use of soil water through transpiration, compared to evaporation resulting in higher yield per mm of soil water. The long-term simulation of yield probabilities over 123 years for the two row configurations showed that the mungbean crop planted in narrow rows could produce up to 30% higher grain yield compared to wide rows in 95% of the seasons.

a b s t r a c tThe irrigated rice-wheat (RW) systems of north-west India are critical for food security. However, these systems are not sustainable due to over-exploitation of the groundwater resource on which they largely rely. Current farmer practice (FP) involves manual transplanting of rice into heavily tilled/puddled soil from 10 June to early July, prolonged periods of flooding, rice residue burning, and heavy tillage prior to sowing wheat. Inclusion of a short duration mungbean crop between wheat harvest and rice transplanting has also been promoted at times. Options for reducing irrigation input to the RW system include delaying transplanting until after the monsoon rains start (late June), switching to shorter duration rice varieties, and alternate wetting drying (AWD) water management for rice. However, the effect of such practices on groundwater depletion is not well-understood. Examining the effects of these options on cropping system yield and components of the water balance and water productivity is highly complex because of the need to consider the interactions between each crop in the system. Therefore, we used a cropping system model (APSIM) to compare the performance of RW systems with a range of rice transplanting dates (4 dates from 10 June to 10 August) and rice variety durations (long -158 d, medium -144 d, short -125 d), with and without mungbean in the system. The results suggest that changing from long to short duration varieties would reduce ET by around 250 mm, more than enough to halt the groundwater decline, but with a reduction in rice-equivalent system yield of about 2.5 t ha −1 compared with current FP. On the other hand, inclusion of mungbean into the RW system results in much higher system yield than recommended farmer practice (by over 3 t ha −1 ), but the tradeoffs are much higher ET (by 250-300 mm) and irrigation requirement (by 300-450 mm). The results of this study suggest that more effort should be directed towards the development of higher-yielding, short duration rice varieties to reduce groundwater depletion of the RW system while maintaining yield, and that inclusion of short duration summer crops such as mungbean should not be recommended.

“…Deficit irrigation at wheat seed formation and maturity stages had the highest seed yield and saved water by 34% (Hassan et al, 2000). Drought reduces seed yield by reducing leaf area, crop growth rate, photosynthesis rate and seed yield components (Pannu and Singh, 1993) such as seed number per plant and 1000-seed weight (Samarah et al, 2004).…”

Two pot experiments were carried out to investigate effect of deficit irrigation with wastewater on seed yield, heavy metals and seedling emergence in oat (Avena sativa). The research at seedling stage included different ratios of sewage-contaminated water (100% well water, 75% well water + 25% wastewater, 50% well water + 50% wastewater, 25% well water + 75% wastewater and 100% wastewater) and three irrigation intervals (1, 2 and 3 days). The research at complete plant stage included different ratios of sewage-contaminated water used at seedling stage and irrigation intervals of 2, 3 and 4 days. Results showed that at oat seedling stage, irrigation interval of 1 days and 100% wastewater produced the highest seedling weight. Irrigation interval of 3 days with 100% wastewater had the lowest seedling emergence. At complete plant stage, by increasing wastewater concentration, leaf chlorophyll content was increased, but relative water content was decreased. 100% wastewater produced the highest seed yield, 1000-seed weight, concentrations of zinc, copper and potassium. According to references, the concentration of studied heavy metals was lower than dangerous threshold.
