Abstract: To analyse the effect of different irrigation schedules on water use efficiency and nutrient uptake of yellow mustard (Brassica juncea L.) cv. Pant Pili Sarson-1, a lysimeter experiment was conducted at Norman E. Borlaug Crop Research Centre of Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar (290 N latitude 790 30’ E longitude and at an altitude of 243.8 m above the mean sea level) during rabi season of 2015-16. The experiment was initiated under three irrigation schedules (IW: CPE as 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0) with two irrigation methods (flood and sprinkler) in non weighing lysimeters associated with 30±1.5, 60±1.5 and 90±1.5 cm water table depths under three factorial randomized block design with six irrigation treatments. Water use efficiency (WUE) of crop was maximum (2.92 kg ha-1mm-1) grown in lysimeters where irrigations were given at IW: CPE 0.75 under deep water table condition (90±1.5 cm) using sprinkler method of irrigation. Maximum uptake of nutrients by crop was observed under IW: CPE 0.75 associated with deep water table condition (90±1.5 cm) using sprinkler method of irrigation. Irrigation scheduling based on IW: CPE ratio of 0.75 using sprinkler method of irrigation in lysimeters associated with shallow water table depth was found to be ideal for contribution of maximum nutrient uptake of yellow mustard cv. Pant Pili Sarson-1.
