Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during kharif seasons of 2018 and 2019 at Soil Conservation and Water Management Farm of C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur, to study the performance of pearlmillet cultivars under varying moisture conservation practices in terms of production, total water use, water use efficiency and root development under rainfed condition. Results revealed that among cultivars, 'Krishna-834' considered to be the most promising in terms of yield, WUE, root development, net return and B:C ratio. One weeding and hoeing + organic residue mulch @ 4 t ha-1 on soil surface at 25 DAS brought out significantly higher production as compared to ridging and furrowing as well as one weeding and hoeing practices. The roots plant-1 , dry weight of roots plant-1, soil moisture status, WUE and net return were also the highest, where mulching practice was taken as moisture conservation practice.
