Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during summer season of the year 2010 at Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat. To study the influence of dates of sowing and irrigation scheduling (IW:CPE ratio) on Yield attributes and yield of summer moth bean. Date of sowing had significant effect on seed yield of moth bean. Significantly the highest seed (460 kg/ha) was recorded under treatment D2 (sowing at 30th January). Whereas, significantly lower seed (368 kg/ha) was under treatment D1 (sowing at 20th January).
Treatment I2 (0.7 IW:CPE ratio) secured significantly the highest seed (472 kg/ha), whereas, significantly the lowest seed (319 kg/ha) was observed under treatment I0 (control, irrigation at critical growth stages). The results indicated that the different levels of date of sowing did not influenced on consumptive use of water. The highest consumptive use of water (558.3mm) was recorded under treatment I3 (0.9 IW:CPE ratio), followed by I2 (0.7 IW:CPE ratio), I1 (0.5 IW:CPE ratio) and I0 (control – irrigation at critical growth stages).Treatment D2 (sowing at 30th January) recorded higher water use efficiency (1.17 kg/ha -mm). While the lowest water use efficiency (0.97 kg/ha-mm) was recorded under treatment D1 (sowing at 20th January ).The highest water use efficiency (1.27 kg/ha-mm) was recorded under treatment I0 Control (Irrigation at critical growth stages), followed by treatment I1 (0.5 IW:CPE ratio) and I2 : (0.7 IW:CPE ratio). The maximum percent of moisture was extracted from 0-15 cm soil depth, followed by 15-30 cm soil depth for all the treatments of irrigation (IW:CPE ratio).
