Effect of Different Rainwater Harvesting Techniques (RWHT) On Yield of Pearl Millet Intercropped with Cow pea, North Darfur-Sudan
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Abstract:In North Darfur state, Sudan, field experiment were conducted for two rainy seasons 2011/12 and 2012/13 to study the effect of different rainwater harvesting methods on yield of pearl millet intercropped with cowpea. The water harvesting techniques studies were as follow: W1 (Terracing system), W2 (V- shape micro- catchments), W3 (Contour bunds), W4 (Trapezoidal bunds method), W5 (rain fall control). Millet intercropped with cow pea and grown sole. The experiment was arranged in split- plot design replicated fourth times. The results showed significant difference among harvesting methods techniques for 50% flowering and maturing, millet panicle length, 100 seeds weight, total seed yield and straw yield. The treatments of normal watering by rain-fall gave the lowest values. Also intercropping of millet with cowpea revealed significant difference. In general application of rain water harvesting techniques (W1, W2, W3 and W4) increased yield and yield components of millet compared with control. Keywords: pearl millet, rainwater harvesting techniques (RWHT), intercropped, cow pea
