Abstract: Water management and effect of mulch in Chhattisgarh plains has been conducted to work out in the water requirement and water use efficiency of summer maize. Two Years field experiment on summer maize was carried out at research farm of IGKV, Raipur during the years 2014-2015. The result of analysis of variance for different treatments showed that there was significant difference among all the treatments. The interaction effect of paddy straw mulch with application of water in pair row performed batter as significant higher yield (43.59 q/ha) of maize was recorded, highest water use efficiency was found in case of paddy straw mulch with application of water inpair row (10.68 kg/ ha-mm) followed bypaddy straw mulch with application of water in alternate row (10.24 kg/ ha-mm). On the basis of results of two consecutive year trial it can be conducted that the water requirement of summer maize was about 41.4 cm which can be full fill with eight numbers of irrigations.
