“…Markedly higher W UE was recorded with higher level of fertigation than lower level, because of adequate and timely availability of water and nutrients and their positive interaction might have simulated the early growth and increased the yield to record higher WUE under drip fertigation with higher levels compared to soil application of fertilizers. Praharaj et al (2014), Vimalendran and Latha (2014), Praharaj et al (2016) also reported the similar finding of increasing water use efficiency with increasing level of fertigation. Maximum nutrient use efficiency was observed in all the treatments where fertilizer was applied as fertigation in five splits as compared to soil application of fertilizer in furrow and drip irrigation.The nutrient use efficiency was considerably increased in drip fertigation compared to soil application of N, P and K fertilizers.…”

Background: Among the different production factors, irrigation and nutrient management are of immense importance in Pigeon pea cultivation. Drip irrigation can be considered as an efficient irrigation system to maintain optimum moisture content in the root zone. Split application of fertilizers at appropriate stages of crop growth ensure a regular flow of both water and nutrients resulting in increased growth rate and higher yield. Fertigation proposed as a means to increase efficient use of water and fertilizer to increase yield and sustained irrigated agriculture. The current study aims to study the efficacy of split application of N, P and K on growth, water and nutrient use efficiency, productivity and profitability of Pigeon pea.Methods: The field experiment was conducted at Department of Agronomy Farm, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during three consecutive kharif season of 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19. The experiment was laid out in randomised block design with four replications and eight treatments with an objective to study the efficacy of split application of nutrients on growth, water and nutrient use efficiency, productivity and profitability of Pigeon pea. Result: The results revealed that, all the growth parameters, yield attributes and grain yield of Pigeon pea were substantially enhanced by drip fertigation levels at 125:100:100 per cent recommended NPK than lower fertigation levels (75 and 100%) and over conventional soil application of recommended dose of NPK kg ha-1. Drip fertigation at 125:100:100 per cent recommended dose of NPK ha-1 recorded higher pigeon-pea pooled grain yield of 4053 kg ha-1. The maximum GMR (Rs.226807 ha-1), NMR (Rs.176604 ha-1), B:C ratio (4.52) and highest economic efficiency of Rs.883 day-1 ha-1.

“…Latha et al (2012) reported that direct sown pigeonpea (CO 6) at single row per lateral with 10 split application of N and K through drip fertigation + 100 per cent WRc recorded the highest grain yield (1486 kg ha -1 ), net income and B:C ratio over different spacing in transplanted pigeonpea in the Western Zone of Tamil Nadu. Vimalendran and Latha (2014) revealed that drip irrigation at 100 % WRc with fertigation at 125 % RDF through WSF registered significantly highest grain yield of 2812 and 2586 kg ha -1 during 2011-12 and 2012-13, respectively.…”

Food legumes are important source of protein in the diets of a large section of vegetarian population in the developing countries in general and India in particular. Even though India has the largest area under pulses in the world, the average productivity is relatively low and the production is not adequate to meet the demand. For increasing the productivity of the pulses key inputs viz., water, seeds and nutrients need to be applied in the right quantity to enhance the production. The water use efficiency is increased through micro irrigation in the form of drips and sprinklers. Drip irrigation can be considered as an efficient irrigation system since it causes wetting of the soil only and maintain optimum moisture content in the root zone. It also offers several water management advantages like timely application of water and water supply. Micro irrigation provides many unique agronomic, water and energy conservation benefits that address many of the challenges facing irrigated agriculture, now and in the future. .

Pulses are a crucial group of crops that supply high-quality protein to complement the protein found in cereal crops for the large vegetarian population. Water scarcity and inefficient water management pose significant challenges to pulse production, which is crucial for food security and sustainable agriculture. This paper focuses on optimizing water utilization in pulse production to enhance crop yields and mitigate the impact on water resources. We explore various strategies and technologies that can improve water-use efficiency, including precision irrigation techniques, soil moisture monitoring, water-saving practices, and genetic improvement programs for drought-tolerant varieties. Additionally, we discuss the benefits of agroforestry systems and crop rotation in enhancing water infiltration and soil health. By implementing these measures, farmers can optimize water utilization, increase pulse yields, and contribute to sustainable agricultural practices. This research highlights the importance of addressing water scarcity in pulse production to ensure food security in the face of changing climatic conditions and growing population demands.
