ABSTRACT A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2013 to study the effect of moisture conservation practices on growth and yield attributes of finger millet + pigeonpea intercropping system under dry land situations at AICRP on Dryland Agriculture field unit, UAS, GKVK, Bangalore. The experiment consisting of 10 treatments (mulching with maize residues, repeated inter-cultivation, green leaf manuring, tank silt application and their combination with a control) and replicated thrice in. Green leaf manure with maize residue mulch treatment recorded higher plant height (98.6 cm), more number of tillers per plant (7.5), higher ear length (9.53 cm) and grain weight (32.40 g hill-1) in finger millet. Similar treatment recorded higher pigeonpea plant height (132.0 cm), primary branches (7.27 plant-1), higher number of pods (79.67) and pod weight per plant (78.00 g). The magnitude of improvement in grain yield of finger millet and pigeonpea to the tune of 31.60 and 86.98 per cent, respectively, by green leaf manure with maize residue mulch application compared to control. Key words : Finger millet, Green manuring, Maize residue, Moisture conservation, Pigeonpea.

INTRODUCTION Indian agriculture is dominated by rainfed farming. Rainfed agriculture contributes to 42 per cent of the national food grain production mainly through sorghum, millets and pulses. Therefore dryland areas are important for the economy of the country and will continue to be so in future. Crops grown in rainfed condition are prone to water stress, owing to rapid loss of soil water from profile resulting in low water availability for root growth. Moisture conservation practices changes its structure, kills the weeds and improves the water holding capacity of soil (Yadav et al., 2008). Under intercropping situation, replacing certain rows of base crop with intercrop is ideal for reducing the competition under rainfed situation. The proportion of intercrop to the base crop is an important factor in minimising the risk to the base crop during adverse weather conditions and to optimize the yield. Pigeonpea as an intercrop with finger millet would increase the productivity of soil and also cropping system besides, helping for protein supplementation to the farmers. Under extreme situations of dryspell, which acts as an insurance for sustainance of dryland farmers. Adoption of soil and moisture conservation practices would improve the stability of interactions in dryland situation against the vagaries of mansoon. Hence, the study was undertaken to differentiate the efficacy of different soil and moisture conservation practices on 1,3,5

growth and yield of finger millet + pigeonpea intercropping system.

MATERIALS AND METHODS The experiment was conducted at AICRP for Dryland Agriculture field unit, UAS, GKVK, Bangalore. The centre is situated in the Eastern dry zone (zone-V) of Karnataka . The experimental soil was red sandy clay loam in texture having organic carbon 0.55 per cent, pH 5.7, E.C. 0.09 (d Sm-1), available nitrogen 235 kg ha-1, available P2O5 80 kg ha-1 and available K2O 170 kg ha-1. The field experiment carried in finger millet + pigeonpea (8:2) intercropping with moisture conservation furrow in between two rows of pigeonpea laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 10 treatments (Mulching with maize residues, repeated intercultivation, green leaf manuring, tank silt application and their combination with a control) and 3 replications.The gross plot size was 6.6 m x 3.6 m and net plot size was 5.4 m x 3.0 m. Finger millet cv MR-1 and pigeonpea cv TTB-7 was sown during first week of July. Calculated quantity of ex-situ green manure (Gliricidia) for green manuring in T4, T6 and T8 treatments, tank silt application in T5, T7 and T9 treatments were incorporated as per the treatment schedule 15 days prior sowing and maize residue comprising rind and sheath of cob, straw was analysed for the nutrient status before mulching. Calculated quantity of

Mallareddy et al.

sun dried maize residue was mulched in T1, T2, T6 and T7 as per the treatment detail on 20 DAS. In the treatment, T3, T8 and T9 having repeated inter-cultivation, three inter-cultivations were adopted including the common inter-cultivation. Finger millet th was harvest on 15 November 2013 and pigeonpea was st harvested on 1 February, 2014.

Statistical analysis : The experimental data collected on various growth, yield and other aspects were subjected to Fisher's method of analysis of variance (ANOVA) as per methods outlined by Panse and Sukhatme (1967). Critical difference (CD) was calculated wherever the 'F' test was found significant. The data were analyzed and are presented with the level of significance at 5 per cent. Step wise regressions were calculated between growth attributes with soil moisture content during the dry spell.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Growth and yield attributes of finger millet : Growth characters were influenced by different moisture conservation practices (Table 1). Many factors both externally and internally influenced the crop growth and productivity. Soil moisture conservation is one such important factor. The economic yield of a plant is an outcome of a series of integrated interactions of various biological events involving biochemical, physiological and morphological changes which take place during its development in accordance with the supply of light, water, temperature and nutrients (Donald, 1962). Combination of green leaf manure with maize residue mulch (T6) treatment (Table 1) showed significantly taller plants (98.6 cm) and more number of tillers (7.5) as compared to control

(86.0 cm and 7.5, respectively). Similar trend was also followed in yield attributes viz., higher ear length (9.53 cm) and grain -1 -1 weight (32.40 g hill ) over control (7.00 cm and 25.93 g hill , respectively). Increased growth and yield character of finger millet in green leaf manure with maize residue mulch treatment might be attributed to improved moisture holding capacity of the soil besides reduced evaporation losses with mulching. Similar results were also observed by Chittapur (1998); Chaudhary et al. (2008).

Growth and yield attributes of pigeonpea : Green leaf manure with maize residue mulch treatment recorded higher plant height (132.0 cm) and number of primary branches (7.27 plant-1) as compared to control (100.7 cm and 4.47 plant-1, respectively). Higher number of pods and pod weight per plant (79.67 and 78.00 g, respectively) registered with green leaf manure with maize residue mulch treatment and lower value observed in control (61.67 and 54.52 g, respectively). The significant improvement in growth and yield components in green leaf manure with maize residue mulch treatment (Table 2) might be attributed to its beneficial effect on physical and chemical properties of the soil, besides supplying essential nutrients to plant growth. This also could be further attributed to ability of plants to absorb the required moisture and nutrient as per its requirement resulting in better yield component and grain yield of pigeonpea. Similar results were found by Anon. (2012) in moongbean ; Karunakaran and Behera (2013) in soybean. Table 2.

Yield of finger millet and pigeonpea : Green leaf manure with maize residue mulch treatment produced higher finger millet grain yield (3981 kg ha-1) followed by tank silt with maize residue mulch treatment (3765 kg ha-1). While, lower yield was obtained in control (3024 kg ha-1). The magnitude of improvement in grain yield of finger millet by green leaf manure with maize residue mulch application was to the tune of 31.60 per cent over control (Table 3). Similar trend also observed with straw yield of finger millet. Rajashekarappa et al. (2014) also observed 15-54 per cent improvement in maize yield with 112

FMEY : Finger millet equivalent yield

moisture conservation practices compared to control. In-situ moisture conservation practices significantly increased the grain and stover yield of sorghum reported as by Rao et al. (2010). Similar treatment produced higher pigeonpea grain yield -1 (273 kg ha ) followed by tank silt with maize residue mulch -1 treatment (264 kg ha ). While, lower grain yield was recorded -1 with the control treatment (146 kg ha ). The magnitude of yield improvement in grain yield with green leaf manure with maize residue mulch treatment and tank silt with maize residue mulch treatment to the tune of 86.98 and 80.82 per cent, respectively, over control. Similar findings were reported in earlier study by Tamak et al. (2006) in lentil. Higher finger millet equivalent yield -1 (4460 kg ha ) was observed in green leaf manure treatment compared to control. Higher finger millet equivalent yield might be due to availability of sufficient moisture and nutrients to the crop compared to control.

Regression analysis : The results of simple linear regression equation for yield with growth and yield components are presented in Table 4. There was a significant positive linear relationship observed with growth components of finger millet like plant height, leaf area, total dry matter and yield components like number of productive tillers hill-1, ear length, ear weight hill-1, grain weight hill-1 and test weight of finger millet. The coefficient of determination (R2) of simple linear regression between grain yield was varied between 68 to 73 per cent in growth components and 50 to 89 per cent in yield components. Significant positive linear relationship observed with grain yield and nutrient uptake (73 to 84 %).Similar trends were also observed in pigeonpea.
