Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Agriculture University, Palampur

Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya (renamed as Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya in June, 2001) was established on 1st November, 1978.The College of Agriculture (established in May, 1966) formed the nucleus of the new farm University. It is ICAR accredited and ISO 9001:2015 certified institution. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research has ranked this University at eleventh place among all farm universities of the country. The University has been given the mandate for making provision for imparting education in agriculture and other allied branches of learning, furthering the advancement of learning and prosecution of research and undertaking extension of such sciences, especially to the rural people of Himachal Pradesh. Over the years, this University has contributed significantly in transforming the farm scenario of Himachal Pradesh. It has developed human resources, varieties and technologies and transferred these to farming community enabling the State to receive the “Krishikarman award” of Govt. of India four times in row for food grain production among small states of the country. Today, the State has earned its name for hill agricultural diversification and the farming community has imposed its faith in the University.

    ABSTRACT A field experiment entitled ―Effect of irrigation scheduling and sowing time on water use and productivity of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under deficit water conditions‖ was conducted during 2004-05 to investigate the effect of three sowing times (early, timely and late sowing) and four irrigation schedule (I1: Pre sown irrigation; I2: I1 + irrigation at CRI; I3: I2 + irrigation at flowering; I4: I3 + irrigation at dough) on wheat in a silty clay loam soil (acidic Alfisol). Both Irrigation schedule and sowing times significantly affected the soil water potential, root growth, crop water use, yield attributes, yield, water use efficiency and water productivity of wheat. Timely sowing resulted in higher while late sowing resulted in lower root mass density. Significantly lowest root mass density upto 30 cm soil depth was recorded in rainfed crop (I1). Total water use increased significantly with each increase in level of irrigation. Total water use was significantly higher under timely and late sown than early sown crop. Number of total tillers, effective tillers m-2 and grains spike-1, 1000- grain weight increased progressively with increase in irrigation level from one (I1) to four (I4). Higher productivity of wheat crop in respect of grain, straw and biological yield was obtained with timely sown wheat crop followed by early and late sown crop, respectively. Grain yield decreased by 7.4 15.7 and 22.2 per cent and straw yield by 14.3, 26.4 and 31.4 per cent when irrigations were decreased from four to three, two and one, respectively. Timely sown wheat resulted in significantly highest (3.58 kg grain ha-1 mm-1 water) while late sown resulted in significantly lowest water use efficiency (2.46 kg grain ha-1 mm-1 water). Trend was similar for water productivity also. Water use efficiency (kg grains ha-1mm-1) as well as water productivity (kg grains m-3 water used) was significantly higher in timely sown followed by early and late sown wheat. Timely sown wheat produced 3.58 kg grains ha-1 mm-1 water resulting in water productivity of 0.36 kg grain m-3 water use
