Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during 1975-76 and 1976-77 at B. A. College of Agriculture Fram, under semi-arid conditions of Anand to evaluate the technique of intra-plot water harvesting as affected by moisture conservation practices (tillage) and its subsequent utilization by hybrid sorghum and castor. Different components of water budget viz., runoff, evapotranspiration (ET), soil moisture storage and percolation were also studied for the crops in both with and without water recycling conditions. Ridging and furrowing was found superior among tillage practices for conserving moisture during the crop growth period.
