The total water requirement of Kharif sorghum (jowar) is 40 to 45 centimeters. To fulfill this requirement, providing a total of 4 Watering turns to the Kharif sorghum crop is necessary. The critical and sensitive growth stages for this are: vegetative/growth stage (25 to 30 days after sowing), Pottery stage (पोटरी अवस्था) (50 to 55 days), flowering stage (70 to 75 days), and grain filling stage (90 to 95 days).
The total water requirement of the maize crop is 40 to 42 centimeters. To fulfill this requirement, it is necessary to provide a total of 4 Watering turns to the maize crop. For this, the seedling stage (at 25 to 30 days), tassel emergence (at 45 to 50 days), flowering stage (at 60 to 65 days), and grain filling stage (at 75 to 80 days) are the critical growth stages of the maize crop.
In the Kharif season, the total water requirement for the groundnut crop is 40 to 50 centimeters. To fulfill this requirement, providing a total of 3 Watering turns is necessary for the groundnut crop. For this, the critical sensitive growth stages are branching (after 25 to 30 days), Driving peanut into the ground (after 40 to 45 days), and pod development / filling (after 65 to 70 days).
- Seedling stage (after 15 to 20 days)
- Bud initiation stage (after 30 to 35 days)
- Flowering (after 45 to 50 days)
- Grain filling stage (after 60 to 65 days)
The total water requirement for the pigeon pea (tur) crop is 40 to 45 centimeters. To fulfill this requirement, it is necessary to provide a total of 3 Watering turns. For this the critical/sensitive stages are:
Branching stage (at 30 to 35 days)
Flowering (at 60 to 65 days)
Pod filling stage (at 90 to 95 days)
For the ratoon pigeon pea (tur) crop, the first irrigation should be given after keeping the ratoon, and the second irrigation should be given during the flowering stage (20 days after the first irrigation) pod-filling stage.
The total water requirement for mung or black gram (udid) crops is 20 to 25 centimeters. To meet this requirement, as needed, the first irrigation should be given 25 days after sowing, and the second irrigation should be given 20 to 25 days after that.
The total water requirement for the cotton crop is 45 to 50 centimeters. To meet this requirement, it is essential to water the cotton crop during its critical growth stages: germination, branching, flowering, boll formation, and boll development.
